NASA is tracking a house-sized asteroid set to zip past the Earth on August 16 at around 17,717 miles per hour.

Known as 2025 PR1 , the space rock is estimated to be about 55 feet across and will make its closest approach on Saturday, at a distance of 609,000 miles, according to NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

Three more space rocks are expected to zoom past the Earth next week. On August 17, a plane-sized asteroid known as 2025 PM, will make its closest approach at a distance of 654,000 miles.

On August 20, two asteroids will follow. A stadium-sized asteroid, 990 feet across, known as 1997 QK1 will pass within 1,870,000 miles, followed by 2025 OV4, 160 feet across, which will come as close as 1,800,000 miles away.
