              Asteroid 2007 TU24 is flying past Earth today. There's no danger 
              of a collision, but the 250m-wide space rock is close enough (1.4 
              lunar distances) to photograph through <A href="http://www.spaceweather.com/ccount.php?linkURL=http://meade.com/">backyard 
              telescopes</A> as it speeds through the constellation Cassiopeia 
              glowing like a 10th magnitude star. NASA radars are monitoring the 
              flyby and may produce <A href="http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2008-014">new
