Asteroid 2013ET Discovered at Short Range

Friday, March 3rd, 2013. 8:04 AM EST.

Last Sunday, scientists detected Asteroid 2013 ET as it raced toward Earth. Scientists have determined that it will pass by this planet tomorrow, March 4th, at a distance of 604,500 miles. As it passes, it will be half as far away as the moon.

The meteor that recently injured more than 1,000 people in Russia and caused widespread property damage with its 500 kiloton blast was one fifth the size of 2013ET.
