Spaceweather.com reports today that:
"Newly-discovered asteroid 2011 CA7 is flying past Earth today only 63,000 miles away, or 1/4th the distance to the Moon. At closest approach around 1700 UT on Feb. 9th, the VW-Bug-sized space rock will zip through the constellation Orion glowing like a 17th magnitude star."
And remember this close shave, just days ago.
It's becoming a shooting gallery out there.
