1800 feet astroid to pass earth on monday

An asteroid up to 1,800 feet across is headed Earth's way. But
don't worry: It will miss us by 745,000 miles, about three times
the distance between Earth and the moon.
Still, that's close for such a large rock.
NASA scientists say asteroid 2004 BL86 will come closest
Monday. That will be the nearest the asteroid gets for another
200 years. And it will be the closest known encounter by such
a giant space rock until another mega-asteroid flies by in 2027.
It was discovered in 2004 and is estimated to be about one-
third of a mile in size, or between 1,600 and 1,800 feet.
