Okay, okay, you have a good point, but I'm only giving the planets' miles as a relative yardstick. Venus is definitely closer, you can often see it in the night sky, but it's still about 25,000,000 miles from us. This object is much closer, the closest heavenly body to the earth, in fact a few guys have been there, even hit a golf ball.
