A Colossal Asteroid "Florence" Will Cruise By Earth Today, Visible To Human Eyes
The
asteroid known as Florence is going to make a relatively close shave of
Earth today, speeding past our planet closer than it has since the year
1890. But asteroids make their presence known around Earth on a regular
basis, so why is this one special? Well, because Florence is absolutely
huge, and would pose an incredible threat to life as we know it if it
were to actually collide with us. Thankfully, NASA says that’s not going
to happen — at least not this time around.
