NEO Asteroid 2014 DX110 Pass Today March 5, 2014 7:27 am SteveS

The Earth-Moon system gets a close shave on the night of Wednesday, March 5th 2014 when Near Earth Object (NEO) asteroid 2014 DX110 passes our fair planet at 216,000 miles or about 345,600 distant at around 21:06 Universal Time (UT)/ 4:06 PM EST.
About 30 metres in diameter, 2014 DX110 was discovered by the Pan-STARRS 1 survey on February 28th, and its orbit was initially refined using follow up observations made by the Great Shefford Observatory in West Berkshire, England.

Article at Universe Today has a link to the Virtual Telescope which will be airing the close pass starting around noon PST. Also some interesting previous near earth encounters of 2014 DX110 revealed.
