2,000-foot-wide asteroid 2015 TB145 not so haunting in newly released photos taken on October 31

Latest pictures have displayed the less spooky side of the huge asteroid that travelled past Earth on Halloween. The asteroid 2015 TB145, which was 2,000-foot-wide, looked startlingly like a big skull in radar pictures taken on October 30 by Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory.

But, the space rock didn’t seem so haunting in the latest pictures captured on October 31, when 2015 TB145 travelled within 300,000 miles of Earth, which was nearly 1.3 times the distance from the Earth to the moon.
