A mile wide asteroid with its own moon is set to fly by Earth over the weekend.
The Huffington Post wrote, "asteroids that rotate around each other are know as a binary asteroid system."
The one passing earth is called 1999 KW4. It will be around 3 million miles away from Earth when it reaches it's closest point.
The best view will reach 7:05pm.
Planetary scientist Vishnu Reddy says this asteroid system will be “one of the closest binary flybys probably in recent history."
