Hmm... 11.000 or 9 million. They must be using that new fuzzy math.
An asteroid as long as a basketball court will give Earth a close shave next month — though scientists aren't sure just how close.
The near-Earth asteroid 2013 TX68, which is thought to be about 100 feet in diameter, will zoom past our planet on March 5. The space rock could come as close as 11,000 miles — less than 5 percent of the distance from Earth to the moon — or stay up to 9 million miles away during the flyby, NASA officials said.

They Walk Among Us. :lol:
I have never understood how it is that once they find the object, and know it's position, why they can't immediately also tell what it's orbit is/will be.
I mean seriously we can measure light dipping from a far flung star, and know not only that there's a planet there, but where it's at in another solar system.
But we can't tell where an object is at in our own backyard? :biggrin:

It's like Deer in the woods, we know they're out there, somewhere, but you don't think about it, until one jumps out in front of your car... :ttoung:
