Asteroid Cruises Past Earth ... With a Partner!
Asteroid Cruises Past Earth ... With a Partner!
A good-sized asteroid sailing past our planet right now turns out to be two giant rocks doing a celestial jig.

The setup, catalogued as 2008 BT18, was thought to be nearly a half-mile wide after its discovery by MIT's LINEAR search program in January. Nothing else was known about it. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago
