Earth to get very close look at a huge asteroid - Technology & science - Space - Space.com - msnbc.com

Mark your calendars for an impressive and upcoming flyby of an asteroid that’s one of the larger potentially perilous space rocks in the heavens – in terms of smacking the Earth in the future.

It’s the case of asteroid 2005 YU55, a round mini-world that is about 1,300 feet in diameter. In early November, this asteroid will approach Earth within a scant 0.85 lunar distances.

Save the date and mark your calendars for an important event in early November, 2011.
