Updated 11 March: Infrared observations of 2009 DD45 suggest it is a member of a class of rocky asteroids called "S-type". Based on the average surface brightness of these asteroids, DD45's size appears to be about 19 km across, on the lower end of its estimated size range. Its size and stony makeup suggest it would break up high in Earth's atmosphere if it were ever found on a collision course with Earth, and would not cause damage on the ground, says NASA's David Morrison in an email newsletter. An asteroid about the size of the one that levelled the forest in Tunguska, Siberia, a century ago flew past Earth on Monday - well within the Moon's orbit. The risk of a future impact with the object is not yet known.
