Asteroid "YU-55" will be passing within 198,000 miles of Earth Tuesday night,... that's closer than the Moon. And YU-55 is pretty big, too, relatively speaking,..... a quarter mile in diameter. Unfortunately, it will not be visible to the eye, even though skies should be clear.

Hah. Bummer. I would have liked to see it, provided that we had a clear night over here for once.

Getting a little to close for comfort. Some day one of these things is going to collide with the Earth.
