Asteroid to fly over UK tonight at 7:25pm

Live Video: http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2


According to BBC:
An asteroid as large as an Olympic swimming pool will race past the Earth on Friday at a distance of just 27,700km (17,200mi) - the closest ever predicted for an object of that size.

It will pass closer even than the geosynchronous satellites that orbit the Earth, but there is no risk of impacts or collisions.

People will need good binoculars or a telescope to see the asteroid at its closest - which in the UK will be at 19:25 GMT.

Its closest approach will be 19:25 GMT.

WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Won't be so bad if it does hit then.
