Default Asteroid shaves past Earth's atmosphere

"Asteroid shaves past Earth's atmosphere"

"This was an extraordinarily close encounter and so the orbital change
was quite extraordinary. 2004 FU162 was deflected by about 20 degrees
because of the Earth's gravity. I've never seen anything like that
before," Chesley told New Scientist."
