Asteroid YU55 we will be able to see it with our eyeballs in daylight on 11/8 & 9.

NASA estimates that it will be between the earth and moon, a distance of

230,000 miles! It is so close that if their measurements are off by even a tiny bit,

we could actually be hit by this thing.

What about this invic?

 

An asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will come closer to Earth this autumn than our own moon does, causing scientists to hold their breath as it zooms by. But they'll be nervous with excitement, not with worry about a possible disaster.

There's no danger of an impact when the asteroid 2005 YU55 makes its close flyby Nov. 8, coming within 201,700 miles (325,000 kilometers) of Earth, scientists say.

So they're looking forward to the encounter, which could help them learn more about big space rocks.

This thing could get very close, if it's bumped by something out there I'm getting drunk.
