Asteroid 2012 DA14 to sweep close on February 15, 2013 closer than closer than the orbits of geosynchronous satellites
A near-Earth asteroid – called 2012 DA14 by astronomers – will pass very close to Earth on February 15, 2013. Astronomers estimate that, when it’s closest to us, it’ll be within the orbit of the moon (which is about 240,000 miles away), and within the orbits of geosynchronous satellites.

Er, um, huh? confused

Calculations show that on February 15, 2013, the distance between the asteroid and Earth will be 0.000228 AU (34,100 km; 21,200 mi).[5]

Thread: 2012 DA14 Orbit Update (It Will Still Not Hit Earth in February)
Thread: 2012 DA14 - Satellite Collision Risk - Now Ruled Out with New Data on Page 2!!!
It was sighted again earlier this month and now there's a little bit of new astrometric data. We should start getting more new observations leading up to the 15th which will enable better refinement of the orbit and hopefully the ability to rule out a satellite collision. And earth collision is already ruled out.

Its going to be close thats for sure. I have a feeling it will smack at least one satelite. I have seen a couple of articles suggesting it could come within 16-17000 from us.

Bring it.
