If You are Out And About On Halloween,

look to the skies for 2015 TB145,


it is a 1,300-foot asteroid that will rush past the earth, according to NASA scientists it will past just 1.3 times the average distance between Earth and the Moon, which is only about 300,000 miles away, which is pretty close in the world of astronomy, the next big space rock to rush past Earth won’t happen until 2027, when a 2,600-foot rock will come within 1 Earth-moon distance, or about 238,000 miles, as an aside 2015 TB145 (aka Halloween Asteroid), will pass us travelling at about 22 miles per second, so keep the cameras out on Saturday for Halloweeners dressed as space rocks!
