A 328-feet-wide asteroid passed only 70,000 kilometers from Earth on Thursday. It was picked up by Brazilian SONEAR survey just days ago, and its announcement was made hours before it went past our planet. It once again proves how quickly potentially dangerous asteroids can sneak up on earth. However, the asteroid, designated as 2019 OK, is not a threat to Earth for the time being but can pose a genuine risk in the future.
