Scientists have discovered the fastest-spinning asteroid sized over 0.3 miles in diameter, which is rotating about once every two minutes. Dubbed 2025 MN45, the space rock is some 2,300 feet across and spans nearly the size of eight football fields. The asteroid is of the size of seven football pitches drifting through space.
