large asteroid to fly past tonight

[oldpink]

was hoping to have some clear skies to get the scope out and see this one but unfortunately its going to be cloudy all night

so I guess it will have to be Slooh


won't be visible to the naked eye but a small telescope will pick it up

I heard about on the Today program this morning. Was hoping to see something with the naked eye, but sadly it is cloudy here too.

I hope everybody ducks.

you'll be fine unless your a million miles tall
its closest approach is about 4 times the distance to the moon

A friend of mine has got a urinary stone and he's about to pass it. A huge rock flying by the Earth sure's gonna make him happy.
