On March 21, 2021, Earth will have its closest encounter with 2001 FO32 — the largest and fastest-known asteroid scheduled to fly past our planet this year. The space rock, estimated to be between 2,526 feet ( 0.47 miles) and 5,577 feet (1.05 miles) in diameter, will zip past Earth at a staggering speed of 76,980 miles per hour (123,887 km/h). To put it in perspective, that is about 100 times faster than the speed of sound!

                that would be bad because we get used to the freezing tempatures and if the earth mover later we would burn to death and there would be alot of causilties

                      That is so cool! It did not crash into earth, so we all are okay. But that was pretty close!
