March 23rd commemorates the day the entire Earth faced a near miss when a massive asteroid (4581 Asclepius) nearly hit us in 1989. National Near Miss Day celebrates the day 4581 Asclepius flew right on by. On March 22-23, 1989, a mountain-sized asteroid came within 500,000 miles of colliding with the earth.
