Hey look, an asteroid just zipped past...

So apparently just after 5 am this morning a newly discovered asteroid just passed us by. It came within 79,000 km of Earth, and wasn't large enough to be of any real threat. Though this is the second asteroid in a few weeks that has come close to the planet. I wonder if we're likely to see more?
