Gilligan! If you're still in Egypt... Did you look up?

Simulations show the asteroid passing above southern Africa within 3,852 miles (6,200 km) at the moment of closest approach, around 7:45 a.m. PT. To get an idea of how close this is, consider that many telecommunications satellites orbit at an altitude of 22,236 miles (35,786 km).

In about 45 minutes from now (now = 10/31/19 7:00 am PDT), newly-discovered #asteroid C0PPEV1 will pass only 6200 km above Earth's surface. 45 minutes ago it was passing through Earth's shadow.
This is much closer than our geostationary satellites. https://t.co/q4qKuaUHjb pic.twitter.com/jsG2kaBY4O

Spooky Halloween asteroid flyby one of the closest near misses ever seen

A big space boulder scopes out the trick-or-treating situation here on Earth. Fortunately, it doesn't knock on any doors.

Southern Africa is many thousands of miles closer to Egypt than we are.

Douglass High by chance?
