An asteroid the size of three double decker buses will make an extremely close approach with Earth as it passes between the planet and the moon Wednesday night, UK MailOnline reported.
Reaching a minimum distance of less than 217,000 miles (350,000 km), or 0.9 lunar distances, at 21:07 GMT (16:07 EST), the 98ft (30 meter) asteroid will make its closest approach.
Even though the asteroid will avoid a collision with Earth, scientists claim that the 33,000 mph (14.85 km/s) asteroid will provide spectacular views for anyone with a good telescope in their back garden.
Sharing real-time images of the asteroid, named 2013 DX110, the Virtual Telescope Project and Slooh will be providing a live, online event.
According to UK MailOnline, the webcast will begin tomorrow night at 20:30 GMT (15:30 EST) and can be accessed here.
"It follows huge popularity of asteroid 2000 EM26 last month, with thousands of people stayed up into the early hours in the hope of catching a glimpse of a monster asteroid. But just as the huge space rock came close to the planet's orbit, the dedicated Slooh website, which promised a live stream of the event, crashed," UK MailOnline reported.
For those who log on this time to catch the asteroid in action, the hope is that the live stream will stay on.
"On a practical level, a previously-unknown, undiscovered asteroid seems to hit our planet and cause damage or injury once a century or so, as we witnessed on June 20, 1908 and February 15, 2013," Slooh astronomer Bob Berman said in a statement. "Every few centuries, an even more massive asteroid strikes us - fortunately usually impacting in an ocean or wasteland such an Antarctica."
Berman continued, "But the on-going threat, and the fact that biosphere-altering events remain a real if small annual possibility, suggests that discovering and tracking all near Earth objects, as well as setting up contingency plans for deflecting them on short notice should the need arise, would be a wise use of resources."
2014 DX110 is an Apollo class asteroid, which means it has an Earth-crossing orbit.
There are currently 240 known Apollos, but it is believed that there are at least 2000 Earth-crossers with diameters of 1 km or larger, UK MailOnline reported.
An impacting Apollo asteroid would make a crate about 10-20 times its size if it hits Earth.
