The closest approach will occur at 6:28 p.m. ET when the asteroid passes within 202,000 miles of our planet, NASA said.
Just junp real high, you might be able to touch it...

I don't trust NASA. I predict it's either going to hit the earth, or hit the moon, sending it out of orbit and causing it's eventual collision with earth. Either way, we all die! RUN!

The report I heard suggested you could see it with a 6" diameter or larger telescope, and if you know just where to look. I believe it is less than 1000 feet across, and almost a quarter-million miles away.
I'm not sure it will pass between the Earth and Moon -- just that it will pass Earth nearer than the Moon ever gets. |

Calculate your own disaster at:
Impact Earth
