“Asteroid 2004 FH Whizzes By” is copyrighted by S. Sposetti & R. Behrend (Geneva Obs.). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteLast week, asteroid 2004 FH made an unusually close approach to Earth, passing only seven Earth radii away. Though it posed no danger, the 30-meter asteroid became bright enough to see with binoculars. This time-lapse movie, covering about 30 minutes, shows 2004 FH crossing the sky on March 18 from Switzerland, near its closest approach.
