Asteroid 2014 RC will be making a close-approach to Earth, at 1/10th the distance of the Moon on September 7th. The asteroid is about the size of the Chelyabinsk meteor, and was discovered only 7 days before it will make the close approach. It worries me how sensitive asteroid surveys are, yet of the 1000+ asteroids that impacted Earth in the last century (about 500 of them were only a couple of feet across, mind you) only 2 of them were discovered before they impacted. Even the Chelyabinsk meteorite itself wasn't discovered before it came down as a huge fireball on Earth. If its orbit had been less oblique, it could have even created a crater at least 50 feet in diameter. It's possible that there's an asteroid as large as 500 meters heading straight towards us and we wouldn't know until it's too late.

Well on the bright side we know about 95% of near-earth asteroids that could cause major global disaster in the future.
