Editor's Note: Unexpectedly strong winds and clouds have forced the Virtual Telescope Project to cancel its live webcast of the asteroid 2013 ET
today. The next chance to see the asteroid will be Saturday, March 9, in a 3:15 p.m. ET webcast by the Slooh Space Telescope as detailed in the
original report below:
An asteroid the size of a city block is due to make a close pass by Earth on Saturday (March 9), and you can get a front-row view via two back-to-back
webcasts.
The asteroid 2013 ET was discovered March 3 by the Catalina Sky Survey based at the University of Arizona. During the flyby, the space rock will fly
within 2.5 times the moon's distance from Earth. On average, the moon is about 238,000 miles (about 383,000 kilometers) from Earth.

Seems like a lot of these rocks are flying close by or hitting Siberia, lately?!
