This is a good one here.
It states that this near miss, was a rather large bolide, but it passed
on the other side of the moon. And despite the scare stories from
movies etc, there is no real danger because these things are rare. It
goes on to say, that although asteroids of this size impact the earth
every 50 years or so, the odds are stacked against an asteroid hitting
the earth in the near future.
And so when was this near miss?
Well the top one there was in June 2002, this one was in Aug 2002 .Two
months between them.
