Just found this...It does seem to come close to earth around Mid March (when you fast forward the orbit map)....Not at all familiar with how to read
distances...
That was close. Yesterday, newly discovered asteroid 2008 CT1 flew past Earth only 72,000 miles (0.3 lunar distances) away. Had it struck our planet,
the 13-meter wide space rock (similar in size to a school bus) would have done little damage, probably exploding in the atmosphere and peppering some
lonely stretch of ocean with meteorites.
my oh my that is rather close,though i disagree with the assessment as exploding in the atmosphere is exactly what happened at tunguska! space.newscientist.com...
