WASHINGTON \u2013 A\u00a0mystery object<\/span>\u00a0from space is about to whizz close by Earth on Wednesday. It won’t hit our planet, but scientists are stumped by what exactly it is.<\/p>\n

Astronomers say it may be space junk or it could be a tiny asteroid, too small to cause damage even if it hit. It’s 33 to 50 feet wide at most.<\/span><\/p>\n

NASA\u00a0says that on Wednesday at 7:47 a.m. EST, it will streak by, missing Earth by about 80,000 miles. In the\u00a0western United States<\/span>\u00a0it may be bright enough to be seen with a good amateur telescope.<\/span><\/p>\n
