(TheWeatherSpace.com) -- A 400 meter-sized asteroid will pass our planet at a distance inside the moon's orbit this November.
While still far away, astronomers are anticipating what is going to be the closest approach to date by an object this large that is known in advance.
NASA says 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years.
The asteroid will be an excellent opportunity for telescopes and radar data.- Follow TWS on Facebook and Twitter below for faster updates, including getting the articles 5 minutes before the main page does.
