Tech & Science Daily: How to watch the huge asteroid passing Earth today

If you haven’t heard, a huge asteroid - far bigger than any building on Earth - is due to pass us by today.

It’s closest known approach to Earth was on 17th January 1933 when it went past 699,300 miles away. It’s not predicted to come as close to our planet again until 18th January 2105.
