At 3:33am 01/29/2008 an Iron object in space will pass close to the Earth. This asteroid is called TU24-2007. TU24 is about 1500 ft long and will pass by the Earth about 334,000 miles away (1.5 times the distance to the moon).
It will not be shiny like a comet or even be seen by most of us like the millions of things that fly by everyday.
An object this size is a grain of sand in the universe and it will barely blink at us as it passes at 44,000 miles per hour.
If you have a good telescope you might be able to see it. (Look in the NW sky around the North Star) TU24 will be a faint blip moving about 3 times faster than the background)
