An asteroid flying past our planet is not an uncommon phenomenon, and it will be happening again today.
According to the official data, the asteroid is known as 2010 RJ53, and its diameter is almost 774 metres, which is over 2,500 feet. This asteroid will zoom past the earth today, and will potentially be flying at a distance of 366,000 kilometers from the planet, making it closer to us than the moon.

I’d prefer the Three Gorges Dam.
Is this like Deep Impact or Armageddon sized?

I hate metrics. That’s roughly 226,000 miles away.

Why are you bringing us all down with this story? It didn't bring me down. And if you fear being, "Brought down", the Internet of is full of cute heart warming puppy and kitty videos. Give them a try!☺

It amazes me how bad we are at detecting things until that are danger-close.

Regarding the asteroid, President Biden commented, “Our six point program has reduced the COVID rate on flyby solar system objects to near zero.” When asked how the rate could be anything but zero, Biden indicated he was not allowed to take “those kinds of questions”.

It is not going to miss the moon by much. Hitting the moon would be just as disastrous as directly hitting us. It would just be a slow death rather than a quick dead.

Better than an asteroid twice the size of earth to fly by the Empire State Building.
