Graze?
Sure it is big.
But the moon is 252,088 miles away.
And this will be 4.4 million miles away.

100 times further from the moon... But how far from the actual orbit? That would be more interesting to know. It is the stuff crossing our orbit we need to watch

Graze?? "Dubbed Florence, the space rock will pass 4.4 million miles from our planet"Your fit over 550 earths side-by-side and it still wouldn't graze the outside one.

Sure it wasnt named after Rosie ODonnell?
Would you believe there were those who wished to honor O'Donuts for her erudite political contributions, but other scientists, studying the reflected light from the object, determined that it had far too low butterfat content to be named after Rosie, so the idea was scrapped?

I hope the “No Wake” signs are up.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

I’m still trying to decide if something like that hits, should I just run around eating everything in sight or shoot myself?
Probably will eat but the weather will be so damn depressing.

The science is settled - the biggest threat to life on Earth is global warming, so that three mile wide asteroid is a climate-change denier.
