Small asteroid to sweep close this weekend

Just saw this.


“2018 WV1 was found on November 29 at the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, U.S. It will make a close encounter on Sunday morning, coming within 27,000 km (16,800 mi) from the Earth’s surface – closer than the geostationary satellites.”

“Even if it had hit us, the object is too small to be a threat.”
