When the asteroid 2012 DA14 gives Earth a close shave on Friday (Feb. 15), it will be a record-setting close encounter with a space rock of its size and you can track the flyby live online. The asteroid was discovered in 2012 and its Friday flyby is the closest of an object its size ever seen, NASA scientists say.

NASA and several professional and amateur stargazing groups will offer live webcasts of the asteroid 2012 DA14 flyby, which will be at its nearest to Earth at 2:24 p.m. EST (1924 GMT). The asteroid is 150 feet (45 meters) wide, about half the size of a football field, and will approach within 17,200 miles (27,000 kilometers) —closer than the planet’s ring of weather and GPS satellites —when it flies by.

NASA will provide a 30-minute webcast on its NASA TV channel beginning at 12 p.m. EST (1700 GMT/9 a.m. PST) to offer live commentary during asteroid 2012 DA14′s flyby. The webcast will be provided in the window above.
