[quote:Anonymous Coward 625665:MV83Mzg4NzdfMTEzMzUwODRfMkU3QTI5NUY=] [quote:G. House] On March 18, 2004, LINEAR announced a 30 meter asteroid 2004 FH, which would pass the Earth that day at only 42,600 km (26,500 miles), about one-tenth the distance to the moon, and the closest miss ever noticed. They estimated that similar sized asteroids come as close about every two years[31]. On March 31, 2004, two weeks after 2004 FH, meteoroid 2004 FU162 set a new record for [b]closest recorded approach, passing Earth only 6,500 km (4,000 miles)[/b] away (nearly one-sixtieth of the distance to the Moon). Because it was very small (6 meters/20 feet), FU162 was detected only hours before its closest approach. If it had collided with Earth, it probably would have harmlessly disintegrated in the atmosphere. [/quote] Well its still fun to yak about! [/quote]
