A massive asteroid bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza will make a close approach to Earth on August 29, 2018, travelling more than 20,000 miles per hour.

  • Asteroid 2016 NF23 is expected to skim past Earth on August 29, 2018, according to NASA
  • The asteroid will pass by at about 13 lunar distances, or just over 3 million miles
  • It’s estimated to be 230-525 feet wide (70-160 meters), traveling 20,000 mph

This is an addition to my Six-Word Couplets that I started back on 6/9/2018. I've been intrigued by the "six-word story," which has gained popularity, including the 2006 Six-Word Memoirs® project. What about a six-word couplet? 

Lol. . . Even my simple cover image above has six words!
