I'm sure 'Space Rock' fans are always keeping visuals skyward, but did the rest of us know that the 2.8km diameter asteroid 1998 QE2 discovered by MIT’s Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program passed by at a relatively close 5.8 Million km from earth, less than half the size of the alleged 'dinosaur extinction' asteroid but sufficient to cause a similar result. Recent close passes have been made by only 50-100m size asteroids.
