The asteroid known as 4 Vesta, which measures over 326 miles in diameter is well known for having the highest mountains ever seen, with A giant stands in front of a spirit that blows 13 miles high.

A giant asteroid is heading towards planet Earth and it is now so close that it can be seen by the human eye.

Surprisingly the giant asteroid named 4 Vesta is four times larger than the United Kingdom and it can be seen from both hemispheres of the Earth.

In an animated video published by NASA, we can see that the space rock has many craters that may have been caused by a major accident in the past.

Earth 4 Vesta is visible as a dark yellow dot as it came so close to our planet in 20 years.

The space rock will be visible until July 16th.
