Pretty much on 9/9/2011 this object will be coming within 0.0022 AU or 204,502.953 miles to put this into perspective the moon is about 250,000 miles away from us.. the link to check out the orbital diagram is [link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]

However if that doesn't work you can go to;
[link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]
And then just click on bodies and then go down to where you see orbit diagrams and then just enter 2005 YU55 into the search parameter.. Enjoy this lovely shade of doom!!!
