Qué momento, un asteroide nos pasó rozando, en términos estelares. Una capa más de pintura y te la regalo:
A large asteroid hurtled harmlessly past the Earth early Monday at a distance of about 269,000 miles _ slightly farther away than the moon.
Residents with telescopes in the United States and Canada had the best view of 2004 XP14, which appeared as a streaking dot in the northern sky.
Astronomers tracking the space rock's path since its discovery in 2004 had determined that it would pose no risk to Earth during the encounter nor in the next 100 years. Judging by its brightness, 2004 XP14 was estimated to be a quarter-mile to a half-mile wide.
An asteroid that size, if it smashed into Earth, would probably cause regional destruction. Scientists have said it would take a mile-wide or larger asteroid to cause widespread devastation that could threaten civilization.
