Speaking of missing asteroids, there was a curious, short segment on the news this evening. Apparently, an asteroid described as being as large as a ten story building passed within 45,000 of Earth last month, without detection before the fact. Impact from such an object, had it occurred, was described as being equivalent to 1,000 Hiroshimas.
45,000 miles, sorry.
this one?
