IIRC it will be just inside the orbit of the moon and while it's a pretty big rock, it's also a pretty dark rock. Unless you know precisely where to look and it's got a nice bright background it's not likely you'll see it.

Well, not quite collision, but close enough to make a buzz.

Just in case someone missed it on the news today: an asteroid
will be visible today:

Are we going to see some photos of it here, on PDML?

Cheers,
