Named 2002 NN4, the asteroid is more than 1,000 feet across and will swing by near enough to make it onto NASA's 'close approach' list.
It's the kind of asteroid that some scientists worry about, and it's coming relatively close to Earth on Saturday. Thankfully, it is expected to remain a safe distance away.
It's traveling at more than 20,000 mph — so the damage 2002 NN4 could inflict on earth is catastrophic, Derek Buzasi, professor of physics at Florida Gulf Coast University, told USA TODAY. He said 2002 NN4 is bigger than roughly 90% of asteroids and likened it to a football stadium.

Lady Gaga's Chromatica Shoots for Another Planet, But Lands Right Back on EarthLady Gaga’s return to dance music was supposed to be spectacular.

Of course, all along Gaga was still Gaga-ing, even if she was no longer rolling up to red carpets encased in an egg, like something out of Spinal Tap. Gaga was still building out her camp pastiche brick by brick, like a Jenga tower held together by overwrought Oscar performances and piano ballads. But when she released “Stupid Love,” a punchy dance song with a Star Trek-inspired video—her hair, a Pepto Bismol-pink wig—the song felt like an ecstatic return to form: here was Gaga not overthinking it, reveling in the simplicity of feel-good synth-pop, having fun.
