Eight years from now - 1n 2029 - a football field-sized asteroid buzzes earth close enough to see with the naked eye. And it'll be on a Friday the 13th.
A giant asteroid is set to buzz earth Monday, February 17, 2014. Astronomers say the massive rock poses no threat of actually hitting our planet. Which is good because I forgot to pick up the bread and milk.
See the northern lights as they recently appeared 240 miles above the earth. Seven images from the International Space Station that will blow your mind.
