AN ASTEROID almost one and a half times the size of the London Eye is making a close approach to Earth, with NASA describing the object as "potentially hazardous".
Asteroid 2020ND is a truly monstrous space rock, measuring in at 170 metres. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have revealed the asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth on July 24, when it will come within just 0.034 astronomical units (AU) of our planet.
