When small asteroid 2012 DA14 passes within 17,200 miles (within 28,000 kilometers) of Earth on February 15, you won’t be able to see the asteroid with the eye alone. But astronomical observatories with large telescopes will be sure to capture it in photos and on video, and some will be broadcasting online.
