Asteroid 4179 Toutatis will be flying close to Earth on Wednesday
scientists says the risk of Toutatis slamming into Earth is zero
"At 4.6 kilometres long and 2.4 kilometres wide, 4179 Toutatis, as it is officially known, would overshadow the CBD of Sydney. "It's about the size of Mount Kosciuszko," Dr Lomb said.
The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and left a 180-kilometre wide crater in Mexico, was about eight times as big.
"So if Toutatis were to hit it might not actually wipe out all life on Earth, but it would probably destroy several continents. It would be extremely catastrophic," he said."
