Asteroid Whizzes By Earth

October 14th, 2010 link to (permalink)

Mankind is safe. For now. Earlier this week, an asteroid whizzed by our little blue planet--dangerously close, at least in astronomical terms. The rock flew above a section of Southeast Asia by Singapore. At around 6:51 AM ET, it was at its closest to the planet--around 28,000 miles away.
