A near-Earth object (NEO) is a Solar System object whose orbit brings it into proximity with Earth. 2014CR pictured here in the little box was captured by me tonight It will pass the earth in the next 2 days approx 8.3 times further than the moon. Not considered a hazard to us, but if it were at
an estimate of 130 metres it could do a great deal of damage travelling at 27.000 MPH. When you consider that the meteor crater in Arizona was formed by an object
just 50 metres across. Food for thought hey...................
