PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 4 (UPI) -- A small asteroid approaching Earth will pass by so near it will come closer than the orbits of many weather and communications satellites, NASA says.
Although the near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass very close to Earth Feb. 15, observations obtained of its path show there is no chance it might be on a collision course, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., reported.
