Re: an asteroid to watch for Friday
I didn't post these on any forums but I pointed at this one a couple of nights back. Here's a couple of videos I made tracking on the stars and on the asteroid:
Just a reminder that this NEO asteroid is going by earth tomorrow (Friday). Estimated to have a diameter of 440 – 990 meters, this one will be approximately 16.17 LD at closest approach. My reported observations from the short exposures below show it to be approximately 13.1 magnitude and I expect it to be brighter on closest approach.

(The flickr link seemed to have some issues on my laptop)

Very nice Dan.
Any metaphor will tear if stretched over too much reality.
