An asteroid will make a close pass by Earth Friday morning.
Asteroid 2012 BX34 will pass within 36,750 miles of Earth around 10:30 a.m., according to Yahoo.com .
The asteroid is reportedly the size of a city bus and will come much closer to earth than the moon, but there is no danger of the rock hitting our planet.
