Huge Asteroid To Fly Past Earth On Monday 26 January (TONIGHT)

Use binoculars and the sky map below with the path of the ASTEROID 2004 BL86 during its closest approach to Earth on Monday night. East African Time (EAT) is marked on the map. Closest approach is at 3:44 AM but it can be followed from 9 pm onward since it will be half way up the sky when looking east. Visit http://www.astronomyintanzania.or.tz for further follow up.
