2013 EC is a near-Earth asteroid that passed Earth just inside the orbit of the Moon, with its closest approach on March 4, 2013 at 07:35 UTC.[3] 2013 EC was discovered by the Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona, United States, on March 2, 2013.[4] Asteroid 2013 EC is estimated to be equal in size to the Chelyabinsk meteor that impacted on February 15, 2013. Its measurement is about 10 to 17 meters (33 to 56 ft) wide.[5]
