Asteroid to Make Closest Flyby in History
It looks like we are gonna have a close call this year. NASA informs us of an asteroid called 2012 DA14, a space rock approximately 45 meters across that will pass earth missing our planet by 27,700 kilometers. It will pass within the orbits of many communications satellites, making a new record. On February 15 at 2:24 p.m. EST, the asteroid will be flying over the eastern Indian Ocean near Sumatra.
The NASA video below explains this close call in detail. SubhanaAllah! I am just praying these close calls, remain close calls.
