Otto's ? Asteroid in near miss with Earth

[empip]

Pretty close then Otto.

An asteroid up to half a mile wide has brushed past the Earth, approaching almost as close as the Moon. In astronomical terms, that counts as a near miss. But scientists who had consulted Otto, were not worried. 2004 XP14 was classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) along with 782 known others.
