Earth's Close Encounter With A Giant Asteroid

After two free falling satellites now there is a giant asteroid making its way towards earth. The good news is that there is no danger that the 1,300 feet wide space rock called 2005 YU55 will hit earth. The asteroid will pass 201,000 miles away from us. In 2029 an asteroid will pass 99,942 miles away from planet earth.

I hope that there will be no danger of asteroids in the future. On the site I got this information there is a chart of asteroids that past between moon and earth before and the ones that are going to pass.
