The asteroid, known as DA14, will pass by our planet in February 2013

the geosynchronous orbit of some satellites.

...Golly gee-whiz jeepers and gosh! It won't matter because the
world's supposed to end (again) on December 12, 2012. We'll all be
gone and - except for trolls and nutjobs like Bbo, Guthie and the rest
of their ilk - joined the Choir Invisible for two months already by
the time the damn thing hits!

That altitude would place its perigee closer than ALL geosynchronous
satellites (about 23000 miles).
