Asteroid Zips Past Earth

Meteor, not asteroid

…Wednesday… an asteroid… which NASA discovered just two days before it happened… …passed about 25,000 miles (40,000km) from our collective home, roughly one tenth the distance between the Earth and the moon.… NASA claims it’s the closest an asteroid will come to Earth for “at least the next half century.”…

Even though they didn't even know about this one until two days before it visited? Right.
