Today, newly-discovered asteroid 2009 BD is slowly passing the Earth at a distance of only 400,000 miles away. This asteriod is thankfully too small (approximately 10 meters wide) to pose a threat, but is interesting because its orbit appears to be almost identical to the orbit of Earth - a rare event. For more information of this asteroid, and information on where to see it on the sky, visit spaceweather.com. Enjoy!
