A small, newly discovered asteroid will pass within the distance from the Earth to the moon this weekend, and you can watch its approach live online today.
The space rock, called 2013 LR6, is between 16-53 feet wide and is in no danger of hitting the Earth, experts say. The garbage truck-size asteroid's closest approach will bring it about 68,351 miles above the surface of the planet tomorrow.
