Today I am posting about space. I post about space at the holidays but I thought that I have some spare time so I can post something new. In the title 'Florence is Passing by!' It means that there is a large near-Earth asteroid passing Earth on 1st September. There have been heaps of asteroids passing earth and on 1st September there is. The distance of the asteroid is about 4.4 million miles (
7 million kilometers or about 18 earth moon distances). Florence is the largest asteroid to be tracked by earth just after 11 days after the solar eclipse. I will tell you some facts about Florence.
