The roughly 2,100-foot-wide (640 meters) Halloween asteroid 2015 TB145 gave Earth a close shave on Oct. 31, 2015, coming within just 300,000 miles (480,000 kilometers) of our planet. (For perspective, the moon orbits at an average distance of about 239,000 miles, or 384,600 km.)
Seriously, the fact that we get a skull shaped asteroid on Halloween really makes it sound like we live in a game and this is just another patch update :P

Thank you to the astrophysicists in the comments explaining how it's not really a skull, it's just the lighting.
