Astronomers just discovered the sneaky asteroid on July 26.
An asteroid wider than two football fields will zoom past Earth in the wee hours of Thursday . The asteroid is set to pass at 12:23 a.m. .
The impact from an asteroid this large would release more energy than 1,000 nuclear bombs. However, this one will miss Earth by a wide margin, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA monitors tens of thousands of near-Earth objects like this one and has estimated the trajectories of all of them beyond the end of the century. The good news is, Earth is in no danger of a cataclysmic asteroid impact for at least the next 100 years, NASA has said.
