Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted February 9, 2018 Moderators Posted February 9, 2018 Asteroid 2002 AJ129 generated a lot of hype before it passed at a safe distance of about 2.6 million miles (4.2 million kilometers) Sunday, February 4, 2018. Part of the reason it got so much attention is that astronomers saw it coming. The more recently discovered asteroid 2018 CB, on the other hand, is smaller and will safely pass our planet at a much closer distance of about 39,000 miles (64,000 kilometers). NASA estimates the asteroid to be between 50 and 130 feet (15 and 40 meters) across. It is expected to pass by the Earth, Friday, February 9, 2018. Quote Gregory
