Default close encounter asteroid

Oakland, California's Chabot Observatory had a bonanza at it's regular
Fri viewing event, as it was able to track the asteroid with the 36in
telescope and display on television monitors for a very large crowd of
viewers, several times the usual Fri, Sat eve viewer numbers.

Nice to see the interest.
