Shortly, an asteroid perhaps two thousand feet wide wiill rip past Earth at a distance of a bit more than three million miles. Asteroid 2002 AM31 poses no danger to Earth this time around, but it is on the watch list for future passes.
Asteroid 2002 AM31 is simply the latest of several documented near misses so far this year. If a disaster occurs decades hence, it won't be because the governments of Earth didn't have fair warning.
