COSMIC MESSAGE
Asteroid 2002 NY40 will pass within 530,000 kilometers of Earth, about 1.3 times the Earth-Moon distance. This 800-meter-wide space rock is not a danger, but it will be bright enough for experienced skygazers to see with a small telescope or binoculars as it moves quickly through the northern sky.
