Dear Commons Community,

The 1,300 foot long, Asteroid 2005 yu55, is due to fly by Earth this coming Tuesday.  While there is no threat of a collision, scientists are interested in this asteroid because it will be coming within the Earth’s orbit.  Actually it will pass between the Earth and the moon.

Here is a quick video with some explanation and its simulated path.
