Asteroid flies safely by Earth day earlier than scientists predicted - Relax, earthlings.

A small asteroid zipped past Earth Monday night, a day earlier than scientists predicted, but caused no harm to the planet.

Dubbed 2013 TX68, the asteroid is anywhere between 56 and 177 feet wide. It zoomed by around 7 p.m. EST at a safe distance of 2.5 million miles from Earth’s surface, according to the Minor Planet Center.

For comparison, the moon is about 238,900 miles away — more than 10 times closer than the passing asteroid.

Scientists originally predicted the newly-discovered object would fly by on Tuesday. It’s due back on Sep. 28, 2017, in 2046 and in 2097.

This flying rock, first spotted in 2013, didn’t impact Earth this time around. The chances of touch down are slim for the next three passes too, scientists said.

"The possibilities of collision on any of the three future flyby dates are far too small to be of any real concern," Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Center for NEO Studies, said in a statement.

But despite experts’ orders not to panic, some feared the asteroid marked the beginning of the end of the world.

Internet pastor Anita Fuentes and her husband Ignacio Fuentes said the asteroid would coincide with a total solar eclipse and a super moon — a trifecta of astrological forces signaling the apocalypse.

“The end times are here," Ignacio Fuentes said in a video omen. “It could be the last hour, the last second.”

But the Sunday video was recorded before the asteroid zipped by earlier than expected — and a day earlier than the Tuesday super moon and eclipse.

It’s not clear if the duo still believe the end is near.
