Fortunately, the asteroid won't be hitting Earth, but it will get as close as 3.8 million miles. It isn't expected to get any closer to Earth until 2046, at about 1.01 million miles.

That asteroid, estimated to be at least 3,600 feet and bigger than any building in the world, will come within 1.2 million miles of Earth on Jan.

2003 SD220: 2,595 feet, will be 3.4 million miles away from Earth on Dec.
