A large asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass by inside the orbit of the moon about 200,000 miles out on Tuesday.

Crazy, right? Seems to be happening more frequently.

I wonder if anyone on the planet will be able to see it?

You need something 6 inch or bigger and luckily I have 8 inches. Telescope of course

but it is cloudy here tonight so I won't be able to view it. Would not be that hard to find either.

I saw it through a telescoppe on TV.

I saw it through a telescoppe on TV.

Sounds better than standing outside freezing my ass off....like I would have been doing.

I'll have to go find it on youtube.
