A 1km-wide global-killer asteroid is on course to buzz past Earth on April 19.
The rock, dubbed 2014 JO25, will do a fly-by on the date at a distance of about 1.8 million km, or 4.57 lunar distances.
The asteroid is a regular visitor around our sector of the galaxy. It will zoom past Earth again in 2091.
Despite the relatively safe distance, 2014 JO25 is categorized as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) because of its size, and the fact that its orbit takes it within 7,495,839km (about 4,658,000 miles), or 19.5 Lunar distances past our planet.
A large number of PHAs are spotted zooming across the visible Universe regularly, though none of these doomsday objects are on a direct collision course with Earth.
Yet.
