asteroid close approach, 2011 Nov 08
The article at the link below indicates a forthcoming asteroid
approach by 2005 YU55 to within 325,000 km of Earth and states that the object is about 400m across. I would imagine that such an object would be quite bright! How bright will it get, and which hemisphere is favored observation-wise? http://www.scientificamerican.com/po...flyby-11-11-01
