An asteroid of a similar size to a rock that exploded above Siberia in 1908 with the force of a thousand atomic bombs whizzed close past Earth on Monday, astronomers said on Tuesday.
2009 DD45, estimated to be between 21 and 47 meters (68 and 152 feet) across, raced by at 1344 GMT on Monday, the Planetary Society and astronomers' blogs reported.
An asteroid almost hit us and noone warned us before
The gap was just 72,000 kilometers (44,750 miles), or a fifth of the distance between Earth and the Moon and only twice the height of satellites in geosynchronous orbit, the website space.com said.
The estimated size is similar to that of an asteroid or comet that exploded above Tunguska, Siberia, on June 30 1908, flattening 80 million trees in a swathe of more than 2,000 square kilometres (800 square miles).
2009 DD45 was spotted last Saturday by astronomers at the Siding Spring Survey in Australia, and was verified by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Centre (MPC), which catalogues Solar System rocks.
The closest flyby listed by the MPC is 2004 FU162, a small asteroid about six metres (20 feet) across which came within about 6,500 kms (4,000 miles) of us in March 2004.

All the predictions are false there is noone that cant predict the future like some thought that the black hole would swalow the earth 4moths before because of the scientist trying to recreate how space was created

Thats ignorance, no one knows for certain, the fact is, it might, and i personally think rather than denying it, we should be finding a way to make certain that it won't hit, or at least give support to those who are already doing so

wow. dude, calm down, the world isn't gonna end. the chances of one of rthose things coming at us is like 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
if the world was gonna endm, we would know. there hundreds of satelites obriting the earth which were not there in 1909. plus, there is the space station which could see things from pretty far away.
the chances of an object large enought to end the earth is almost 0. if an object that big came anywhere near our solar system, it would simply break apart, ans continue of in the asteroid belt(s)
anything else that could possibaly happen toearth is near impossible.
it's not denial, its facts

well, if an asteriod is heading to us, they will just send up bruce willis and ben afflek in a spaceship to blow it up before it reaches us
