An asteroid the size of 48 eggplants is set to pass by the Earth on Tuesday, April 25, just ahead of Israeli Independence Day, according to NASA's asteroid tracker.
The asteroid in question was designated 2023 HF4, having been discovered this year, according to the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Although, it is just one of five asteroids set to pass by the planet on Tuesday, 2023 HF4 will be coming much closer than any of the others.
Its arrival also coincides with Israel's Remembrance Day and just before Independence Day.
