Don\u2019t panic, but a massive asteroid more than 2.7 miles across is about to get up-close and personal with the Earth.<\/p>\n

While it sounds alarming when we put it that way, NASA assures all of us that the asteroid will harmlessly pass the Earth on September 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The asteroid goes by the name Florence, and it\u2019s one of the largest near-Earth asteroids that come within hair-raising distances of our planet every so often.<\/p>\n

“While many known asteroids have passed by closer to Earth than Florence<\/a> will on September 1, all of those were estimated to be smaller,” said the manager of NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), Paul Chodas.<\/p>\n

“Florence is the largest asteroid to pass by our planet this close since the NASA program to detect and track near-Earth asteroids began.”<\/p>\n
