Will the asteroid thats 'brushing' earth tonight be visible to the naked eye and if so what time?
Sorry if this qustion has been posted elswhere on this site (had a quick look but couldnt see it anywhere).
Thanks.

Dont think so , Nailit. I think place for best observation is thought to be over Indonesia, where you might be able to see it with binoculars, but otherwise you will definitely need a telescope....

Although it will not be visible to the naked eye, it should be possible to see it with binoculars.
Look to the North East horizon around two hours after sunset.

last i heard it was between 9.30 and 10.30 pm (obviously)

Sky news says see it pass from constellation Leo to roughly the Plough,but they also say it will not be visible by the naked eye.

Everyone dress your eyes for 7.00pm,the main event starting at 7.35!

Last time I got from Nasa was 7 25pm. Doubtful even with binoculars. But worth a try.

blink and you'll miss it !!! I suspect ...

We all know not to get excited over these things. Even if visible and in this hemisphere, the chance of cloud is always >=100%.

I'd be over the moon if I got to see this --even a glimpse will do me. lol

Wonder if the Russkies were over the moon with their own meteorite this morning. Bit of a coincidence that happening at the same time as this asteroid approaching earth. Wonder if we are been told everything by the powers that be? Soon find out I guess.
