The asteroid will be making its close approach at around 6:53pm today.

Asteroid 2019 SE8 was also first discovered at Mount Lemmon just a few hours before it made its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 1 at approximately 11:12 a.m. EDT (1512 GMT). According to EarthSky, the asteroid is so small that the Earth's gravity is expected to change the rock's course when it goes past the Earth. Though none of these asteroids had much of a chance of hitting Earth today, NASA still classifies them as "potentially hazardous asteroids" because the rocks could still pose a threat in the future when their orbits intersect with Earth's again. Lemmon discovered this 24-foot-wide (7 m) asteroid just two days before it flew by Earth in March 2018.

The calculation matched up, and weather radar in San Juan detected the asteroid as it burned up in our atmosphere. A HUGE asteroid is about to skim past Earth at its closest approach in 115 years.
