Settle down, guys. A skull-shaped asteroid is not headed for Earth this Halloween
(CNN)Despite what your social media feeds are telling you, an asteroid shaped like a skull is not going to zip by Earth this Halloween.
Asteroid 2015 TB145 looked like a skull when it passed by our planet three years ago on Halloween. But now the object may be a bit less “humerous,” because its shape may since have changed.
In 2015, the asteroid missed Earth by just 300,000 miles and was visible to those with good telescopes. This year, the closest it will come is 25 million miles — which is way too far to tell what it looks like.
