Hello there,
It's interesting that we're being just missed again by a large asteroid this Saturday. It's about the size of a football field and will pass by Earth at a distance of about 2.5 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. That's farther than the one coming some years later which will pass CLOSER than the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
The number of asteroids being tracked these days is around 1000, at least the dangerous ones. So hopefully we dont get hit by anything in the near future. After the one over Russia recently though they are taking this more seriously, finally!
