That's approximately nine-tenths of the distance between the moon and Earth.
The asteroid is an estimated 45 to 130 feet across.
Relatively close approaches like this occur all the time, although DX110 is extra close.
Darn you DX!

Darn you DX!
The newly discovered asteroid, called 2014 DX110, will hurtle between the moon and Earth on Wednesday. DX110 will pass an estimated 217,000 miles from Earth.
That's approximately nine-tenths of the distance between the moon and Earth.

Bio-metal boys.. go get it!
All truth goes through three stages:
•First it is ridiculed
•Then it is violently opposed
•Finally it is widely accepted as self evident

Re: Darn you DX!
That's roughly the size of the one that came down in the Soviet Union last year. Could have been devastating if it came down above a city.
