Howdy! I'm Charles. Many ladies and gents call me "Trip." This is the ramblings of a mad man with a blue box. . . Not exactly with a blue box, but the ramblings of an aspiring astronomer/cosmologist. Nonetheless, I'm still a mad man. :)

Bus-Size Asteroid to Give Earth Close Shave Friday →

On Friday, a small asteroid will make an extremely close pass by Earth.  The rock is about 36 feet, will pass the planet within 1/5 the distance between the Earth and the Moon (pose no threat to the planet).  

According to spaceweather.com, advanced amateur astronomers might be able to observe the flyby as the asteroid brightens to 14th magnitude!  Have fun! :D
