If the Earth was the size of a basketball how far would the Moon [and the NEO Earth Close Approaches be]?
Here is a spreadsheet of 9281 Close Approaches Less Than 10LD (Nominal_Dist) as of 2019 11-03a [if the Earth was the size of a Basketball - with a radius of 12.0275 CM(4.73523622 inches)] |

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.— Tony Dunn (@tony873004) October 31, 2019
This is much closer than our geostationary satellites. https://t.co/q4qKuaUHjb pic.twitter.com/jsG2kaBY4O
Newly-discovered #asteroid C0PPEV1 paid a heavy price for almost striking Earth this morning.— Tony Dunn (@tony873004) October 31, 2019
Earth's gravity bent its trajectory, sending its aphelion out to the asteroid belt.https://t.co/q4qKuaUHjb pic.twitter.com/vzx5zpxGBG
From Bill Gray: C0PPEV1 = near-miss— Asteroid Initiatives (@AsteroidEnergy) October 31, 2019
this object is about to come _very_ close to us, perigee at 12520 +/- 70 km from the geocenter :https://t.co/5EoksMRcsg
People in Asia and Australia might be able to get
some astrometry on it over the next hour or two.
A near-Earth asteroid, identified as C0PPEV1, was spotted early Thursday by the Catalina Sky Survey, based in Arizona. It extremely close, 6,200 km above Africa at 15:45 UTC.https://t.co/Vrqjx6T3QX— Tom Ruen (@Tom_Ruen) October 31, 2019
