A 'death comet' will pass earth November 11 about 24million miles away It last showed itself on Halloween 2015 about 302,000 miles away from earth The comet has a human skull face and has been dubbed the Halloween asteroid The comet's next closest visit will occur on November 1, 2088
A 'death comet' will be zipping passed earth just after Halloween this year.
The asteroid with a skull-like face will make its second trip near earth in three years after flying a worrisome 302,000 miles from our planet on October 31, 2015.
This year, the comet will be a much more comfortable 24million miles away on November 11, Mother Nature Network reported.
The comet, officially recognized as 2015 TB145, has a few nicknames including 'Halloween asteroid', 'death comet' and 'The Great Pumpkin' by NASA.
The 2000-foot-wide rock gets the name 'death comet' not only because of its human skull face, but because it's believed to have been long-dead.
Numerous passes around the sun likely stripped the comet of its volatiles, according to Mother Nature Network.
'We found that the object reflects about 6 percent of the light it receives from the sun,' said Vishnu Reddy, a research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona said in 2015.

I wish I was good at making a moving gif. I would post Cristine Blowsey-Fords photo and crop it in black and white, floating like an asteroid.
