A newly discovered asteroid got within 12,000 miles of Earth on a harrowing, ultra-close approach today. The space rock won't return for 70 years.

      I’m not up to date on the latest elephant measuring units but we’re talking at lease 7.8million horse lengths away of that helps.

      If you’re looking for greater accuracy we can always convert that to badgers with a simple formula.
