ASTEROID FLYBY:  One week from today, on July 3rd, asteroid 2004 XP14 will fly past Earth barely farther away than the Moon.  There's no danger of a collision, just a great photo-op for experienced amateur astronomers.  The space rock is big enough (600 meters wide) and bright enough (11th magnitude) to see and photograph through backyard telescopes.  Observing tips, a sky map and ephemerides are available at SpaceWeather.com .

If Space Weather doesn't help then take a look at the BAA circular in this thread.
