Asteriod 2013 TX68 nearby March 8
CNEOS's new prediction for 2013 TX68 is that it will fly by roughly 3 million miles (5 million kilometers) from our planet. There is still a chance that it could pass closer, but certainly no closer than 15,000 miles (24,000 kilometers) above Earth's surface.

      Thanks for the post. Science is warming up (pun intended) to the idea that the younger dryus period was caused by a comet splitting up an pelting Canada to Syria. See: what formed the scab lands in Washington state.
