Huge asteroid approaching earth
Huge asteroid 2012 DA14 is heading towards the earth, NASA said.
NASA confirms the 60-meter (197-feet) asteroid, spotted by Spanish stargazers in February, has a good chance of colliding with Earth in eleven months.
The rock's closest approach to the planet is scheduled for February 15, 2013, when the distance between the planet and space wanderer will be under 27,000 km (16,700 miles).
the 150-foot asteroid will pass so close to Earth it will fly UNDER man-made satellites orbiting our planet
U.S. astronomer Phil Plait said if an asteroid of that size hit our planet, it would cause an explosion similar to a nuclear blast.
