Asteroid near-miss prompts calls for astronomy funding
Astronomers in Arizona reported seeing a tiny asteroid, which they described as a new but routine fast-moving object.
Scientists at the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center (MPC) in Massachusetts had calculated the object was likely to pass within one Earth's radius of the centre of the planet.
That means it would have struck the surface of the Earth if had been big enough.
