According to BP Earthwatch… this orbit of this asteroid is a ‘uncertain’… so it’s interesting that NASA and the news are saying no problem… that it will ‘narrowly miss earth’…
There is no danger of a collision with Earth.
Asteroid 2014 RC was discovered on the night of August 31 by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona, and independently detected the next night by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope, located on the summit of Haleakalā on Maui, Hawaii. Follow-up observations quickly confirmed the orbit of 2014 RC: it comes from just beyond the orbit of Mars.
