Asteroid Passes Earth Closer Than Many Orbiting Satellites - Videos from The Weather Channel

That’s inside the orbit of some of our satellites.

Top. Men.

Must be because it's a big-ass sky.

This kind of thing happens so often it's barely newsworthy.

Sounds like blaming slavery on one country ... instead of human history. Weird. Asteroids aren't as dangerous as dumb people.

No it was just my giant belly walking by.

Too bad it didn't hit this Earth!

Erase everything and start anew!

luckily is was a small one.

This marks the first asteroid to be discovered flying past Earth closer than the moon in 2023, and it also happens to be the 17th closest asteroid visit in records that go all the way back to 1901. Another, larger asteroid (2023 AC1) also came closer to us than the orbit of the moon just hours later, but it was well over 100,000 miles away from the surface.

No need to panic, but oddly enough, we missed this one as it approached.

Leftists were too busy jacking off over J6.

Right wingers were busy earning a living.

Nope.....Nothing to see here.....Had a iron asteroid roughly the size of a Volkswagen exploded above DC I'm sure nobody would have covered it's lack of discovery at all.


Your asteroid blew up 20 miles above the water

The explosion was equivalent to 17 Kilotons of TNT.
