I was scrolling through Google News, like I usually do, and discovered an article posted today that said,
"Asteroid 2011MD, measuring about 10 to 50 yards, will be passing Earth on Monday at a distance close enough to have drawn the interest of scientists. This distance is approximately 30 times closer to Earth than the existing distance between the planet and the moon, which is approximately 240,000 miles." The article also says that even though the asteroid could possibly hit a satellite orbiting Earth, it's not big enough to survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere. Read the full article here -
