A bus-sized asteroid came within 54,000 miles of Earth on Oct 2 and on Oct 12 a rock of a similar size came within 27,000 miles of our planet's surface.

You wait ages for an asteroid and then two come along at once.

I heard the nearest miss was one than whizzed past the earth a metre right.

For something the size of a bus sounds along way away.

If it hit say, Blackpool, it would probably do about £150 worth of damage. Plain

Do we need more Blackpool rock?

And they both whizzed past without stopping.

Don't you mean £150 of improvements.

we didn't know about them until recent years. Very few really big hits last few hundred years. I think Tunguska was a comet like the Jupiter hit.

I think one landed somewhere in Russia in 2013
