Another Asteroid to Pass Earth 1998 QE2

Hey Space Placers!

Another asteroid is due to pass by Earth May 30-31 - 1998 QE2, a 1.7-mile wide space rock.

NASA has TV and telescope coverage planned for the event starting May 30th - see details here http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2013/may/HQ_M13-086_QE2_Asteriod_Events.html

NASA has also scheduled events during this flyby to discuss the Agency's asteroid mission initiative.

The asteroid will safely pass Earth by almost 4 million miles and will be tracked by optical and radar telescopes.

Tune in and enjoy!
