Listed in spaceweather.com's Near Earth Asteroids list (yesterday it ws NOT there!):
2011 SE58 date: Sep 27 miss distance: 0.6 LD mag: -- size:13m
Here's it's orbit model:

Does it configure what time of day or night on the 27th Morningsong?

Well, it looks menacing from this 2D (X-Z axis) point of view, because the graphic looks flat. Do you have any idea on how close it is from Earth on the vertical position (Y axis)? Any input on the size and mass of this asteroid?

This link has the close approach data:
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2011%20SE58;orb=1;cov=0;log=0;cad=1#cad
Date/Time: 2011-Sep-27 02:46 Time undertaintly: < 00:01
it has all kinds of data there...semi major axis, semi minor axis.....if you figure it out, please let us know, ok?

Well, it says basically that itīs not on collision course, but it will pass about 433.000km from Earth (*semi-major axis) and 4.000km (**semi-minor axis), which is not that close, on 2011-Sep-27 02:46.
*Semi-major axis: The longest radius of an ellipse.
**Semi-minor axis: The shortest radius of an ellipse.
Edit: Just found out that it is just 13 meters wide rock. Nothing to worry about, if their data is in fact showing the truth.

RMorgan, i found this that states it is 13m: http://spaceweather.com/
still looking will find and paste any other relative information.

looks like there is another one on september 29, october 12, and november 7.
the aurora gallery states that on september 26, today, there are 1250 potentially hazardous asteroids.
on the spaceweather.com site, there are numerous links that can be checked for more info. haven't checked them out yet. but on my way to do it now. will post anything relative from them.

Yes. Itīs too small. I think we shouldnīt get scared by finding space objects that are close to Earth with this JPL graphic tool. It shows all dots at the same size, so we canīt have the correct notion of danger, as a 10 meters object looks like the size of the Earth.
This tool is mostly for scientists, that can interpret the data correctly.
Just look at how many doom and gloom videos on youtube are available for this "2011 SE58" asteroid. It took us just a few minutes to find out that this object is just a small piece of rock.

I guess this is too small to be the thing that Stereo B sees coming in now?

Yes. Itīs just 13 meters, or 42 feet.

Will it be visible by telescope? If so, which direction to look and when? I in the northeast USA

This is just more youtube nonsense, just like 99,9% of the videos regarding these matters.
As Iīve said before, this JPL tool is for scientists. It can and will confuse regular persons, because it show all objects at the same size (dots), giving us a distorted perspective. This asteroid is a just a really really small piece of rock and even if it was on collision course with Earth, it would almost completely disintegrate and burn on entrance.

I just ws observing from a Richmond VA cloudy sky that the sun is on one side and on the right of it is a moon size planet in the distance. So besides the glare on a more right angle is a planet,moon or whatever. Either way the shift of the moon and sun rising in the same sky and closely together is rather new, isn't it. I've never seen it like that before and I'm 53 and have been in the south for 21 years. Oh, well, i will keep the faith that God knows what he's doing and always has, it is man that is the infant on intelligience due to the millenia of lies. I'm not gonna judge, just gonna grab my heart in joy when it comes and be thankful that regardless of how it turns out, i have done all that was humanly possible to help people and hope to continue, only in a ecological job with our guardians/watchers. i want to help. i used to want to treat the sick bodies of man, but the cost of school became too much. I now help people who want a home to have an clean energy technological home of their dreams.
I really want to do my part, as this was once, my dream 30 years ago working with oceans, waterfalls, ecological Heaven on Earth and transportation, that don't cause asthma or cancer in the body.
Much peace and love and i am off to meditate green vision as I have a test to teach it soon. They cost 150.00, so I must study. God grant me the serenity I need to pass it on.
