	<title>Unknown 7m Asteroid Almost Impacted Earth</title>

	<htmltext>xp65 writes <i>"A previously undiscovered asteroid came within 14,000 km of Earth &mdash; just over one Earth diameter, 1/30 the lunar distance &mdash; on Friday, and astronomers <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/2009/11/09/surprise-unknown-asteroid-buzzed-earth/">noticed it only 15 hours before closest approach</a>. On Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST, a 7-meter asteroid, now called 2009 VA, came only about 2 Earth radii from
impacting our planet. This is the third-closest known non-impacting Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid. The asteroid was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey and was quickly identified by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge MA as an object that would soon pass very close to the Earth. JPL's Near-Earth Object Program Office also computed an orbit solution for this object, and determined that it was not headed for an
impact."</i> The article notes, "On average, objects the size of 2009 VA pass this close about twice per year and impact Earth about once every 5 years."</htmltext>

	<htmltext>If 70\% of earth is water and 80\% of the land-area unpopulated only 6\% of the impacts will be noticed (by common people), that's something like one every century. Of course metorites aren't equally likely to strike at any latitude (I guess) but this still seems like a decent enough estimate: one or two in a century. And half a century ago I think it unlikely anyone in the west would have heard about a meteorite impact in an African tribe-village, Siberian labour-camp or even Chinese rice plantation etc.</htmltext>
