Another potential killer asteroid was rediscovered after being lost since the 60′s.  Revolving around the sun once every 4.7 years, this asteroid isn’t a threat for the foreseeable future, but if the orbit shifts, that could change.  It’s just one more to keep an eye on, joining a family of 886 objects larger than 500 feet across that pass within 4.6 million miles of Earth, according to Space.com.  Good times.
