Interestingly, this new object comes only two weeks after a larger (50 metre wide) asteroid was spotted passing the Earth at a similar distance. So it begs the question, why are we seeing so many asteroids lately?"This asteroid flyby will.. be a good viewing opportunity for both professional and amateur astronomers," said Don Yeomans from the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "The asteroid poses no risk of impact to Earth now or for the foreseeable future."
