Asteroid 2004 MN4 is going to pass very near in 2029,
So near infgact that you should be able to see its tiny shape through a telescope, its reckoned it'll be approx 2 arc seconds across.
This is the same asteroid that sparked all the fuss last December about a collision with us.

Astronomers do it with the lights off.

In 2029 it will cause great frustration for me. A naked eye asteroid with no strength left in my eyes to see it! Perhaps some one will allow me to view it through their 30" scope, if I can control my zimmer frame
