A newly discovered asteroid named Asteroid 2014 RC, will be passing "very close" to Earth on Sunday.

NASA has revealed that the space rock, which is estimated to be 60 feet long and is expected to fly over New Zealand, will not put Earth or any of the thousands of satellites orbiting the planet, in danger, and won't be visible the naked eye, the CNN reported.

However, the flyby will give astronomers and scientists a chance to study the asteroid which was discovered on August 31 by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona.
