This was confirmed by NASA, which said that does not represent a serious threat. You will travel about 40,000 km of the globe, and its highest point is about the New Zealand approach

According to NASA, this Sunday an asteroid the size of a house, will pass about 40,000 km from Earth. That is, just over a tenth of what is the distance between Earth and the Moon. 

The asteroid named 2014 RC, although it is small to see without any instrument, might be visible using a telescope, he said the U.S. space agency. 

NASA also predicted that the object will travel a distance of approximately 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers) from Earth. 

By taking this speed the asteroid will travel near the band satellites orbiting the planet at about 23,000 miles (36,000 km), which does not represent a serious threat. 

In 2012, a meteorite fell of similar size in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, where over a thousand people were injured. 

The peak will approach the object over New Zealand, close to 6:18 a.m. Monday local time (19:18 GMT Sunday).
