Asteroid 2011 UW158 is going to pass 30 times closer than the nearest planet on July 19 at around 10pm.
This asteroid will approach within 6.4 LD and will be one of the strongest radar targets of the year.
2011 UW158 has an absolute magnitude of 19.4.
Size: 452m - 1011m.
Observations are scheduled at Goldstone from July 13-26
Stargazers will be able to enjoy the spectacle live via Slooh Space Telescope.
What makes this unusual is the large amount of platinum believed to be lurking in the body of this space visitor.
Can it be mined someday, perhaps not too far in the future?
