Near Earth Asteroid Narrowly Missed by Wide Margin
Cambridge astronomers report a large asteroid nearly grazed Earth last month in one of the closest approaches on record. Dr. Brian Marsden notes the closest distance was about three fourths of a million miles on October 20, a gap deemed space-near but potentially catastrophic if collision occurred. Hermes in 1937 came within 500 000 miles. ON THIS DATE in 1868 Grant defeated Seymour in presidential race.
