ASTEROID FLYBY: A small asteroid is flying past Earth today inside 
the orbit of geosynchronous satellites and only 14,000 km above the 
surface of our planet. Named "2012 KT42," the 3- to 10-meter wide space 
rock ranks #6 on the top-20 list of known close-approachers to Earth, 
which makes it significant despite its small size.  More information and
