Asteroid 2019-LF6 is the off-angle orbit depicted in white. Earth, btw, in its orbit around the Sun,
moves at a rate of approximately 66,500 miles per hour! That's roughly 18 miles per second! -etl

Massive, kilometer-sized asteroid was just found orbiting the Sun

This one, at least, will stay clear of Earth, as it’s well inside our orbit around the sun. The only concern, probably very slight is if it does get near an inner planet, it could probably get shot out into our area (but still it would be very, very, unlikely to hit us).

So Murcury & Venus are at risk of a life ending collision?

OK, so when's it gonna hit? It won't help in the scheme of things, but I'm gonna have me some fun shooting a lot of ammo at it.

A newly found asteroid has been spotted orbiting the Sun, whizzing past around the star every 151 days, the shortest orbit of any space rock on record.

Sheesh!
