TL;DR Summary

A massive asteroid, similar in size to the Empire State Building, will pass within 1.7 million miles of Earth today, posing no threat. Three smaller asteroids will also buzz past Earth on Friday, with two more expected on Saturday. NASA's spacecraft OSIRIS-APEX is set to intercept the Apophis asteroid in 2029, when it will pass just 20,000 miles from Earth's surface.
