The flyby is expected to occur at 5:56 a.m. ET, according to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies. The center tracks Near-Earth Objects, or NEOs, that could collide with Earth. They have been tracking this particular asteroid for 20 years, according to NASA.

You can watch it live on The Virtual Telescope's website.

This Doppler radar image of asteroid 1998 OR2 makes it appear as though the asteroid is wearing a face mask.

“but it won’t hit us, experts say”
