An asteroid almost two-and-a-half times the size of a dinosaur is set to have a close flyby with the Earth on Tuesday, according to NASA's asteroid tracker.

The asteroid in question will pass by on August 16, 2022, as noted by the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), specifically at the speed of 7.47 kilometers per second, which equates to 26,892 kilometers per hour.

It also is roughly equal to nearly 22 times the speed of sound.

But at this size, asteroid 2022 PW will likely not cause much damage if it impacts.

It will likely cause a large and loud explosion upon atmospheric entry, but any actual damage would be minimal, at best.
