You know, if you believe that Tunguska was a meteor ;-)
An asteroid which may be as big as a ten-storey building has passed close by the Earth, astronomers say.
The gap was just 72,000 km (44,750 miles); a fifth of the distance between our planet and the Moon.
It is in the same size range as a rock which exploded over Siberia in 1908 with the force of 1,000 atomic bombs.
