Just heard Paul Harvey say something about an asteroid missed slamming into earth by 5000 miles. Did anyone else hear that?
Yes. It evidently grazed the atmosphere and was thrown into an orbit much closer to the sun than the earth. I forget the size. Was hypothesized to have broken up or exploded if it had been more directly into the atmosphere.
There were only 3-5 sightings of it until after the hazard was gone.
Kind of freaky but no big deal after the fact in terms of any damage etc.
There was another thread on it but I forget the title.
