Apparently we noticed this closer than satellites asteroid just a few weeks ago
Kind of interesting that we live on a planet that will inevitably get its butt kicked in by an asteroid.

USA TODAY

Coming close: Asteroid 2024 MK will sweep past Earth inside moon’s orbit

Just in time for Asteroid Day, two of them – one a giant, the other closer than the moon – whizzed past Earth 42 hours apart.

They’ve surveyed 95% of planet destroying asteroids and 40% of city destroying ones and they are not worried about any of those—yet.

Earth is probably safe from a killer asteroid for 1,000 years
