Scientists keep a close eye on asteroids passing near Earth
A large asteroid is set to pass Earth in a close encounter which scientists say will pose no danger.
The asteroid, estimated at half a mile (800m) wide, will sweep within 270,000 miles (433,000km) of the planet - only slightly further away than the moon."
