The flyby of today's asteroid is significant in part because it is the closest flyby of such a large object in recorded history. I did not get to see it because of cloud cover, but watched NASA's coverage.
Here is a radar image of the asteroid, which picked up a small moon in its travels, and a bit of information on it.

My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
