CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- An asteroid is headed this way. But even though it will come closer than the moon, astronomers say it will pose no danger.*

The newly discovered asteroid, called 2014 DX110, will hurtle between the moon and Earth on Wednesday. DX110 will pass an estimated 217,000 miles from Earth.*

That's approximately nine-tenths of the distance between the moon and Earth.*

The asteroid is an estimated 45 to 130 feet across.*

Relatively close approaches like this occur all the time, although DX110 is extra clos

The asteroid will not pay taxes, and in fact since it doesn't have a job it's likely to end up with more little asteroids for us to keep track of. It's all part of the liberal plan to take from the have-gravity base and give to the low-gravity floaters.

Sounds about right. If one hits moon it will be our fault too.
