Asteroid bigger than Empire State Building heading towards EarthBy Charlotte Edwards, The Sun

NASA is keeping a close eye on a huge asteroid that’s heading towards Earth.
The US space agency expects Asteroid 388945 (2008 TZ3) to make a close approach to our planet on May 15.
The giant space rock is predicted to be up to 1,608 feet wide.
In comparison, New York’s iconic Empire State Building stands at 1,454 feet tall.
An asteroid of this size would cause some serious damage if it hit Earth.
There’s no need to panic though as Asteroid 388945 (2008 TZ3) should pass us from a distance of about 3.5 million miles away.
