The asteroid zipping around the earth on June 1, named 2021 KT1, would be 4.5 million miles away from the earth. While that may seem far, NASA considers any asteroid within 4.6 million miles of earth and larger than 150 metres to be potentially hazardous.
Smaller asteroids are expected to approach the earth on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and are expected to be as big as an average house or an airplane. In total, five asteroids are expected to pass near earth over the next few days.

No worries if its just an Eiffel Tower.
But all is lost if an asteroid gets to be a Statue of Liberty

I’m still trying to figure out how to convert Eiffel towers to buses. Darn European measuring units. At least it’s not a Rhode Island.

"on June 1, named 2021 KT1, would be 4.5 million miles away from the earth." To put that in context, the moon is, on average, roughly 240,000 miles from earth. So, at 4.5 million miles, this object will be around 19 times the distance from the earth to the moon at its closest approach! (assuming I did the math correctly)
