TL;DR Summary

An asteroid the size of a football stadium, about 890 feet in size, just passed by Earth and is expected to return in 2032. At its closest point, it was about 1,770,000 miles away from the planet. While not considered a "planet killer," asteroids of this size have the potential to wipe out cities if they make contact with Earth. This asteroid, discovered in 2008, is not expected to return until around 2032.
