Watch the skies for August asteroid

While most asteroid warnings are filled with doom and gloom, this trip could prove to be very interesting. On the morning of August 18 Asteroid 2002 NY40 will be visible in the sky between midnight and 4 AM. Break out the binoculars or that telescope that has been gathering dust in the closet.

The article contains a good map that should allow you to easily locate the asteroid using the star Vega.
