None of these articles are even slightly accurate.
These are the same people who look at the sun in somekinda angstroms and say “Half the sun is missing!”

Accretion, you know ... from all the junk we have flying around up there.
Or, it could be growing because of climate change...

If an asteroid like that were to hit the earth the left will be pinning for the days of when a few degrees C per century is the only thing they would have to worry about....

It's going to eat grass?
Apparently. It does resemble a cow. Perhaps cows evolved elsewhere in the universe and arrived on earth in this manner.

The asteroid, named for Florence Nightingale, was first spotted in 1981, and the flyby in September will be the closest its come to Earth since 1890. "Hey Florence, good news! They're naming an asteroid after you!"
"Well, that's nice."
"Bad news - it's three miles wide and when it impacts the Earth it's gonna wipe out every man, woman, child, and animal life down to the cockroaches and the slime mold."
"Well, at least they'll remember me, dear."
