so when will we see it?

The asteroid will approach Earth from a sunward direction and it will be a daylight object until the time of its closest approach on November 8. The best time to see the asteroid will be after the hours of 4 pm EST (21:00 UTC).

Basicly, you'll see it when its dark.. over here. pretty dark..

Basically Malibu it'll come towards us heading towards the sun and you're most likely to see it at 21:00 UTC.

Johan. · 2011-11-03, 19:44

Wich is 10pm here in Holland, if I'm right.

**[TC]»Pete«** · 2011-11-03, 19:46

Yeah, GMT = UTC.

But I assume it all differs per location. And where should you be looking for and for what.

Look on the website I posted, IT looks like the moon.

But it's way smaller, so some tips to spot it would be nice lol.
