If you had not considered opening your prized bottle of champagne at the last asteroid approach, you might want to put the bottle away for this one.
Another asteroid is approaching Earth, and will pass by on Saturday.
The Asteroid is the size of a city block, or about 80 meters, but will pass much further out than the last one, at least 900,000 kms away.
The reason for this late announcement is that most asteroid cannot be seen by telescope until they are closer to us, and this one was just discovered on Sunday last.
This asteroid will be called 2013ET. The Asteroid is already visible in the night sky but will soon disappear.
