Did you know that a small asteroid the size of a dump truck, 2020 SW will pass so close to Earth on September 24, that our planet's gravity will alter the space rock's speed and bend its path through space? ... At the closest approach, asteroid 2020 SW should pass at an estimated distance of 17,556 miles (28,254 km) from Earth, which is just 0.0735 lunar distances. This will happen on
Thursday 24 September 2020 at 11:18 UTC or 7:18 AM Eastern Standard
39 days later, on Monday 2 November 2020 at 11:33 UTC time. Or 7:33 Eastern Time 2018 VP1 which is the size of a car will pass within 260,431.58 miles or 1.0901 Lunar Distances. As space goes these are really really close.
The scary part is the calculations are taken from the center of the earth so you have to deduct 6000 miles from the "official" estimates.
I would have told you sooner but they only discovered the thing last week.
And now you know, have a wonderful day.
