WB—is estimated to be between 240 and 525 feet across and will pass us at about twice the distance between the Earth and moon.

Asteroid 2006 WB will zoom by Earth on Tuesday, and astronomers say it’s one of nearly 40,000 near-Earth objects (NEO), which is not even the most exciting. Lowell Observatory astronomer and asteroid expert Nick Moskovitz said we know little about this asteroid coming by so close to Thanksgiving.

A stadium-sized asteroid, 2006 WB, will pass Earth at a safe distance of twice the Earth-Moon distance on November 26. Traveling at 9,400 mph, this near-Earth object will allow astronomers to collect valuable data.

Scientists have found microorganisms crawling over a sample retrieved from the 200 million-mile-distant asteroid Ryugu. But they almost certainly came from Earth.
