Tomorrow is a day we can thank our lucky stars...
At 2:36 EST, a giant asteroid will just miss us by about 17,000 miles. That may sound far but in space time it will be just 15 minutes away. Its name is 2012 DA14 and we’re not expected to feel any of effects from it. However, it is passing through a satellite field and there is a potential for some TV or GPS interference.
2012 DA14 won’t be visible to the naked eye, but NASA will be streaming the near-miss live. This asteroid is about half the size of a football field and would have been a catastrophic hit.
