A creepy, skull-shaped asteroid will fly past Earth on November 11th and it’s not Voldemort’s Dark Mark, or a Halloween hoax.
The asteroid was first spotted on October 31st, 2015, leading NASA to name it the “Great Pumpkin” asteroid. When it was first seen, it passed 300,000 miles from Earth, but this year it’s a little farther at 25 million miles. Unfortunately, given its distance and small diameter (around 2,000 feet) the “Great Pumpkin asteroid,” or “death comet,” can’t be seen with the naked eye, so take out your telescope.
