On April 15, 2018, asteroid 2018 GE3 set a record as the largest-known asteroid of its size to make a close pass to the Earth–and at less than half the distance between the Earth and the Moon, that’s a fairly close shave.

2018 GE3 was only spotted by the Catalina Sky Survey the day before its close, 193,000-kilometre (120,000-mile) pass, moving at 29.5 km/s, or 66,000 mph. As it whizzed away from us it passed even closer to the Moon, only one-third the distance between La Luna and Terra Firma.

We at Unknowncountry.com are close to a deployment date for our new website. We expect this date to be in the next two weeks and will keep our users informed both here and in our newsletter. All the great features you’re used to will remain, and our entire archive will stay intact, including all news stories and all programming. It will not be possible to subscribe to the site again until after the new site is deployed. Current subscriber access is unaffected.

The new site will provide a much richer user experience. The free public message board and subscriber chat rooms will both return, and we will be expanding Dreamland and our podcast offering over the next few months.
