A small asteroid that two years ago flew past Earth at a comfortable
distance of about 1.3 million miles (2 million kilometers) will safely
fly by our planet again in a few weeks, though this time it may be much
closer.
During the upcoming March 5 flyby, asteroid 2013 TX68 could fly past
Earth as far out as 9 million miles (14 million kilometers) or as close
as 11,000 miles (17,000 kilometers).
