] As far as flying space rocks go, it's as close an
] encounter as mankind has ever had.
]
] A 100-foot diameter asteroid will pass within 26,500
] miles of Earth on Thursday evening, the closest-ever
] brush on record by a space rock, NASA astronomers said.
]
] The asteroid's close flyby, first spied late Monday,
] poses no risk, NASA astronomers stressed.
]
] "It's a guaranteed miss," astronomer Paul Chodas, of the
] near-Earth object office at NASA's Jet Propulsion
] Laboratory, said Wednesday.
