I'll be interested to hear any more about this when it comes past next.

This animation on the NASA site doesn’t show it near earth in 2009, closest approach I could find in the near future will be in August 2017

You need Java enabled to see the animation.

That's the one. I'm more curious about the nature of it than whether it will hit us. Even if it did, it's less than 20m in diameter so wouldn't be catastrophic. I just wondered if anyone else found anything odd about it, hopefully we'll learn more next pass.
