The space rock known as “2025 FM18,” estimated to be about 15 feet across, will soar past our planet at a distance of around 172,000 miles, according to NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

2025 FM18 isn’t the only asteroid that will be within the vicinity of Earth tomorrow. NASA is also tracking an airplane-sized space rock known as “2025 FP6,” which is estimated to be around 79 feet across.

2025 FP6 is expected to make a close approach tomorrow afternoon at around 4.6 million miles from Earth, according to NASA.
