Asteroid news: The space rock will make a so-called close approach (Image: EXPRESS) READ MORE And though there is no risk of impact from RM45, its size and speed paint a bleak picture of what else could be lurking in the depths of space. Only last year did a 4.1km-wide rock coast past our planet and a 10km-wide asteroid is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Asteroid RM45 is estimated to measure somewhere between 310m and 680m across. At the upper end of the estimate, the space rock is more than seven times as tall as Big Ben s clocktower in Westminster, London. ....

To put this into perspective, this asteroid is so fast, it is shooting through space ten times faster than a bullet fired from a gun. But such speeds are actually the norm in the extreme environment of space. Asteroid news: More is now known about the space rock responsible for the Chicxulub crater (Image: Getty) ....
