Two asteroids approximately the size of 100 adult pugs are set to barrel towards Earth this Tuesday, according to NASA’s asteroid tracker.

The asteroids in question have been designated 2019 BO2 and 2019 BZ4, according to the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

If you’re scientifically curious, this is roughly similar to asteroids the size of 100 housecats.
