2 Small Asteroids Give Earth a Close Shave

Reference: http://news.yahoo.com/2-small-asteroids-earth-close-shave -171607683.html

Summary: Two tine asteroids zipped close by Earth, March 26, passing between our planet and the moon’s orbit. NASA scientist says that the two asteroids posed no treat of impacting our world. According to NASA’s Asteroid Watch, both space rocks flew by Earth in rapid fire. One zoomed by early in the day, the other at around 1:09 P.M. Both asteroids were less than 10 meters.

Critique: I think that this occurrence would be even better if we actually got to see the asteroids.

Impact: There is no impact on Earth, just as the scientist said.
