Asteroid to brush past Earth on tuesday 8 November 2011

http://www.euronews.net/ A large asteroid will pass closer to Earth than the moon on Tuesday, giving scientists a rare chance for study without launching a probe.

It is the first time this has happened since 1976 and although the asteroid will not be visible to the naked eye, thousands are expected to track it on telescopes.
