Two new small space rocks recently discovered will be zipping by Earth today and one is coming very close but no worries everyone, it's not going to impact Earth, but it is only 0.2 lunar distance away. The closer astroid is only 9 meters and the other is 16 meters size but they will look like a 15th or 16th magnitude star.....really fast moving ones!
