Asteroid zooms past Earth at half the distance to Moon
Asteroid 2018 CC, estimated to be around 15-30 metres in size, safely flew past Earth on Wednesday at 1:40 am IST at a distance of about 1,84,000 km, nearly half the average Earth-Moon distance, NASA revealed. Meanwhile, another same-sized asteroid 2018 CB would make its closest approach of less than one-fifth the average Earth-Moon distance on February 10, NASA added.
