Asteroid 2005 YU55, is 400 meters in diameter.
Asteroid 2005 YU55, is 400 meters in diameter. It passed 0.5 lunar distances from Earth in 1976, was discovered on 28 Dec 2005. On Nov 8, 2011 at 03:28 PM PDT it'll pass within 0.85 lunar distances (=325Kmi= 202Kkm) of the Earth, at mag +11 (a bit too faint for my binoculars, waiting for invitation(s), from you know who you are), moving at 10 degrees per hour (motion easily seen even with a naked eye). I think it moves right in the plane of ecliptic. For the reference, it will be closest to the moon on Nov 8, 2011 at 11:13 PM PDT.
