A 98-foot asteroid will pass within 217,000 miles of Earth this week, which is closer than the moon is to our planet, according to the Associated Press.

The moon is approximately 238,000 miles away from Earth.

Astronomers have confirmed that the asteroid will pose no threat, despite how close it will get to Earth, and the fact it will be traveling at speeds of over 32,000 mph.

The asteroid, first discovered on Feb. 11, has been called 2014 DX110, and will flyby on March 5, according to AP.

Astronomers have viewed the asteroid over 230 times, yet they have still not been able to identify the asteroid's exact orbit.

Viewers will be able to watch the asteroid flyby online, thanks to the Slooh telescope.

DX110 is a part of the Apollo class of asteroids, which is a group of asteroids near Earth that could pose a potential problem to mankind.

Last year, a 65-foot meteor exploded in Russia was a part of the Apollo class. The explosion was approximately 30 times stronger than the Hiroshima atomic bomb, according to Reuters.

Around 1,500 people were injured during the explosion, but no one was killed.
