Asteroid flies closely past Earth
Astronomers knew 115-foot-wide rocky object was coming
An asteroid the size of a 10-story building flew past Earth today about twice the distance as the highest Earth-orbiting satellites.
Asteroid 2009 DD45 was closest to Earth today at about 8:40 a.m. ET. It was some 44,740 miles (72,000 km) away.
This asteroid is too small to have been seen in January
