According to NASA, newly discovered asteroid 2013 TV135 came within about 4.2 million miles (6.7 million kilometers) of the planet Earth, home to the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

Says NASA: "With only a week of observations for an orbital period that spans almost four years, its future orbital path is still quite uncertain, but this asteroid could be back in Earth's neighborhood in 2032."
