An asteroid estimated at 100 feet in length passed between the Earth and the Moon yesterday, and most of us just kind of slept through it. Is an asteroid of that size coming so close to Earth really a big deal? I don't know, but it will reach its closest point to the Earth today (March 5.)

Of course it's no big deal, it happens every day. No, really, is it a big deal? It is to me. Those 100-foot asteroid can really interrupt your day something fierce when they land on your head.

My question: why weren't we all told to seek shelter and stop, drop, and roll, or whatever it is you do when a really big asteroid passes that close? According to NASA, the asteroid in question, 2014 DX110, posed no threat to Earth.

Its closest approach to Earth will be about 217,000 miles from Earth at about 1 p.m. PST on March 5. The average distance between Earth and its moon is about 239,000 miles." - NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

For those not scared to death, you are invited to watch this thing unfold live.
