Dumb article didn’t say how far. Had to check other sources.
3.8M miles.
15.2X distance to the moon.

That’s not that close.

Thank You for getting that import information and posting it. I was just getting ready that pullin my side mirrors on my pick up truck in case it was gonna be pretty close. /sarcasm

Thanks — you looked it up so I don’t have to. Unbelievable that such an article was posted without that trivial info.

There’s one coming in December that will be closer than the Moon!......................

In all fairness, in astronomical terms, 15 X the distance to the moon is considered a near miss. For something that big, anyway.

If it was on a collision course a 100,000 megaton impact would be an extinction event. Such has happened before and someday, maybe next week or maybe ten or a hundred thousand years from now, such will happen again. When it does Last Call will be time to drink up and say goodnight.

3.8M miles.

Isn't exactly 'skimming' by the Earth, is it?
