The dangerous asteroid 2011 ES4, which is at least 25 metres (82 feet) in diameter, will approach Earth on Tuesday, 2 September, according to NASA. The closest distance between 2011 ES4 and the planet will be at 16:12 GMT.
Russia’s Roscosmos state space corporation noted that the asteroid poses no danger to our planet.
"We won't die", the corporation said, noting that at least 80 space rocks of the same class as 2011 ES4 approached Earth in August.
Earlier this week, NASA also warned that another asteroid will approach Earth on 2 November - right before the US presidential elections. The agency noted, however, that the chances of it making an impact are 0.41 percent.
