Near miss asteroid...a very near miss.

I just learned that there was an asteroid that just passed by Earth. It was only 40,000 miles up when it passed. It was a pretty big one and would have landed in the Pacific Ocean as I can remember. If it would have made an impact with us, it would have been the size of a nuclear blast. The near miss is the good news. The bad news is it's coming back. Hopefully it will miss, otherwise we'll have to take action.
