Asteroid as strong as 15 atomic bombs whizzes by earth | Mail Online

Asteroid as strong as 15 atomic bombs whizzes by earth | Mail Online: "An asteroid as strong as 15 atomic bombs whizzed past earth last night at just ten times the distance of the moon.

Astronomers first spotted the cigar-shaped rock spinning through space on Monday evening and tracked it.

The star-gazers were baffled by why the asteroid 'blinked' at them until they realised that due to is long shape, the darkness came when it rotated slightly out of view."
