I wonder how much Earth’s gravity changed it’s orbit?

Russian asteroid

[ClearCase_guy]

It managed to fly under the radar

Misuse of idiomatic expression.

[jonno]

Moving at 36K miles per hour.

That could have made a mess had it struck...

[Constitution Day]

passed by Earth at about half the distance between our planet and the Moon

I'm thankful it wasn't closer, otherwise this asteroid could have put our asterisk.

[rfreedom4u]

between 36 and 111 feet wide

That’s an awful big variance.

Just what we need, stealth asteroids.

as it circles the sun it also crosses through the orbits of both Venus and Earth.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be picked off by Venus before it crosses our orbit again.
