NASA: Asteroid Will Not Hit Earth
The small near-Earth asteroid, 2012 DA14, will pass very close to Earth on February 15, 2013, so close that it will pass inside the ring of geosynchronous weather and communications satellites. NASA says its Near-Earth Object Program Office can accurately predict the asteroid #39;s path with the observations obtained, and it is therefore known that there is no chance that the asteroid might be on a collision course with Earth. Nevertheless, the flyby will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to study a near-Earth object up close. Here are the facts about the safe flyby of Earth of asteroid 2012 DA14 -- a record close approach for a known object of this size.
