A recently discovered asteroid measuring about 30m across is expected to come within 217,000 miles (350,000km) of Earth tonight, passing between the Earth and the Moon.
The asteroid, called 2014 DX110, will miss earth, but astronomers say it will give anyone with a telescope in their garden an impressive view as it hurtles past at 33,000 mph, crossing Earth’s orbit at 21:07 GMT.
The Virtual Telescope Project and Slooh will be providing a live webcast of the event, with real-time images of the asteroid. Coverage begins at 20:30 GMT and can be seen below:
