A recently discovered asteroid roughly the size of a commercial jet will pass within 1 lunar distance of Earth on Sept. 3. Here's how you can watch the flyby live online, courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project.

The near-Earth asteroid designated 2025 QD8 is expected to pass roughly 135,465 miles (218,009 kilometers) from our planet โ€” roughly 57% the Earth-moon distance โ€” at 10:57 a.m. ET (1456 GMT) on Sept. 3.

2025 QD8 has an estimated diameter ranging between 55 and 124 feet (17 and 38 meters) and will pose no risk to the Earth or moon when it makes its close approach later this week, while travelling at a blistering speed of over 28,000 miles per hour (45,000 kmph) relative to our planet.

The Virtual Telescope Project is set to host a free YouTube stream covering the flyby starting at 7 p.m. ET (23:00 GMT) on Sept. 3, which will feature live views of the asteroid captured by the organization's suite of robotic telescopes in Manciano, Italy.
