The asteroid 2014 DX110 is a 100 foot asteroid. The closest it got to Earth was 217,000 miles (350,000 km) at 1 P.M. PST (4 P.M. EST), yesterday on March 5. It passed safely between the Moon and Earth, without any issues. It is predicted to pass again in 2032, in 19 years. There is a 99.998 percent chance that there will be no impact from that pass either.

This asteroid, called DX110, just missed Earth by 345 600 kilometers. It was in between Earth and the moon! They found out about the DX110 in late February, and it passed Earth on March 5th. You probably wouldn’t have been able to see the asteroid from your backyard, because it would have been too dark. Since there is no sound in space, you wouldn’t have been able to hear it either.

An asteroid really did pass the Earth yesterday.

The name of the asteroid was DX110

The asteroid, came within 217,000 miles (350,000km) of the planet on March 4th 2014 at 9.07pm. If DX110 hit Earth, the crater would have had a diameter of about 600m. The risk of the asteroid hitting Earth is one-in-ten-million. It’s an Apollo class asteroid.

The 2014 DX110 asteroid has a fairly brief orbit around the Sun – just 1,192 days.

The asteroid, titled 2014 DX110, passed earth at about 33,000mph (miles per hour) on March 5th, which was yesterday. The asteroid was in between the moon’s orbit and the earth, at a distance of 217, 000 miles away from the earth (the distance between the earth and the moon is about 239,000 miles.)
The asteroid did not hit the earth, or affect the earth in any way, as scientists predicted. It was detected and recorded by the ‘Slooh Online Skywatching’ website, and you can now search the video on youtube. The asteroid was about 100 feet long.

Asteroid That Passed Earth - What Happened?
By: Cat and Natalie

Our Assignment:
Watch the above clip. Research and see if you can find out what happened with the asteroid? Write a brief summary of what occurred? (Post your response.)

Our Information:
The DX110 is the name of the asteroid that passed in between Earth and the moon within 24 hours, at 217,000 miles away (98 ft) at around 4 pm. That's almost nine-tenths of the distance between the moon and Earth!
(there was a cool picture here that showed distance between earth and asteriod )http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkyc.com%2Fstory%2Ftech%2F2014%2F03%2F04%2Fasteroid-flyby%2F6041453%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHdap6zEwYTwwPem4gAJdLyM_-3og

Asteroid 2014 DX110 is about 30 metres long. The asteroid passed earth on March 5th 2014. It got as close as 350,000 kilometres to earth. The asteroid came closer to the earth than the moon. NASA predicted that there would be a very low chance of the earth hitting the asteroid. Asteroid 2014 DX110 is also an Apollo-Class Asteroid. At the time, you would not be able to see it with your eyes.
