    17,000 miles is damned close. It's less than 1/10th the way to the moon.

    Meteor crater is 1 mile across, the meteor hit about 50,000 years ago. A comet or meteor exploded above Tunguska in the early 1900s, and it was huge.

    Maybe Astronomers were too busy watching the south, when they should have been watching the west!
