The first asteroid, the VS1 2018, will pass the Earth around 2 pm Saturday, measuring up to 22 meters.

It will pass our planet safely 3.62 times farther from the Earth than from the Moon.

The VR1 asteroid will pass soon after, to 3.1 million miles from Earth.

NASA said: "When they gravitate around the Sun, objects close to the Earth can sometimes approach the Earth."

"Note that a" near "passage astronomically can be very distant in human terms: millions or even tens of millions of kilometers."

And the last of the three, the VX1 asteroid will make a close pass soon after, slightly closer to the Earth than the Moon.

None of the asteroids will hit our planet – and all are pretty small.

The smaller rocks, like the asteroid that exploded above Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013, will affect our planet every 10 to 100 years, experts said.

The asteroid that "exploded" over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in 2013 is said to be about 20 meters wide.

During the Chelyabinsk event in 2013, 1,500 people were injured and 7,300 buildings damaged by the intense overpressure caused by the shock wave on the surface of the Earth.
