Two Asteroids To Pass Earth Tomorrow (Wednesday)

[Cheryl Nelson]

Is this common for two to pass on the same day or are we starting to see an upswing in activity?

Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 08, 2010
Two asteroids, several meters in diameter and in unrelated orbits, will pass within the moon's distance of Earth on Wednesday, Sept. 8.

Both asteroids should be observable near closest approach to Earth with moderate-sized amateur telescopes. Neither of these objects has a chance of hitting Earth.
