asteroid that is thought to be five times the size of Big Ben is speeding up towards Earth's orbit this week and will make a close-earth approach.The rock named 2015 DR215 was first sighted on February 18, 2015, and has an estimated diameter of 220m to 490m, according to NASA's Earth Close Approaches list.The latest tracking from the space agency claims that the asteroid will come within close proximity to Earth's orbit on Friday, March 11, although it is not deemed hazardous or expected to crash directly into the planet.If it were to enter the Earth's atmosphere however, it would leave a city-sized dent on our planet, even in its smallest possible size.However, luckily for us, the closest the massive space rock will pass by Earth is 4.2million miles away – which is not a lot in space terms.For perspective, the sun is 92million miles away, some 22 times further than the monster asteroid will be.It is not clear if and where you will be able to catch a glimpse of it, as it is expected to zoom past at 6:41am, travelling at 8.3km/s.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.This comes as last week saw a colossal asteroid that was a whopping 12 times the size of Big Ben whiz past Earth.Asteroid 138971 made its close-earth approach on Saturday, March 5, passing just under three million miles away from us, at a speed of 12.02km/s – nearly 27,000mph.If 138971 were to have entered the Earth's atmosphere, its size was so great that it could have caused an extinction level event – showing how it dwarfs 2015 DR215 in comparison.

Daily Star Sport takes a look at the some of the more peculiar demands.The Brazilian superstar signed a new deal with French giants Paris Saint-Germain in May of last year.Neymar’s bumper contract is worth a reported £26 million a season and includes a very lucrative clause.According to El Mundo the PSG forward earns over £400,000 a month for being ‘friendly, and available to fans.’The clause also requires Neymar to ‘have the courtesy to greet fans before and after each game’.The Italian’s antics made him something of a cult hero during his Manchester City days, and eyebrows were certainly raised when Brendan Rodgers brought him to Liverpool at the start of the 2016/17 season.Balotelli found himself without a club after his contract with Marseille expired in the summer of 2019, and according to Spanish publication Marca he was close to signing for Brazilian club Flamengo.However, in order to put pen to paper the former City striker reportedly wanted Flamengo to sign his younger brother Enock and allow him to play for affiliate club Boavista.After he left AC Milan in 2011, Ronaldinho signed for Brazilian club Flamengo.However, according to beIN Sports the former Ballon d’Or winner insisted that a ‘nightclub clause’ be inserted into his contract.The clause enabled Ronaldinho to enjoy Brazil’s nightlife twice a week, amazingly Flamengo agreed to it.But despite an impressive record of 19 goals and 13 assists in 44 appearances he cancelled his contract in May 2012, citing a dispute over unpaid wages.After Eto’o left Inter Milan in the summer of 2011, he joined Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.However, Eto’o wanted to live in Moscow rather than Makhachkala and the two cities are separated by more than 1000 miles.As a result the
