A peanut shaped asteroid discovered in May 2014 named '2014 JO25' and 1.3-kilometres long, passes just 0.01175 astronomical units or just over 1 million miles, or 4.57 lunar distances from Earth at 1:24pm (BST) tonight 19th - 20th April. Moon rise is about 3:30am BST on 20 April so, a dark(ish) sky and if clear, this will be observable with a telescope. It passes near a star called Cor Caroli just below the constellation Ursa Major.
That's some peanut!
Ha, NASA sends nutcracker to eliminate threat.
Another one in 2027 will be just one Lunar distance away.
I would have like to timelapse this asteroid but we've got cloudy skies forecast tonight 🙁
just one Lunar distance away
Away from us and not from the Moon, I hope!
