'City killer' asteroid to pass harmlessly between Earth and moon's orbit
Briefly

An asteroid big enough to wipe out a city will travel harmlessly between Earth and the moon's orbit this weekend, missing both celestial bodies.aturday's close encounter will offer astronomers the chance to study a space rock from just over 100,000 miles away.That is less than half the distance from here to the moon, making it visible through binoculars and small telescopes.
