The Slooh telescope will be hosting a live webcast of the flyby on Nov. 8, 2011. Find out more: [link to events.slooh.com] Also there is an event clock which is counting down. Its now 10:50 and There are still 5 hours and 5 minutes to go so relax for now untill 15:55 what a site thank you. |

I was under the impression we'd get to watch it on the that site with commentary.... :/ I feel a bit cheated, lol. Quoting: Krystinaklysm The closest approach is 23:28 UTC, right? Felt like watching a movie and missing the end. That's soooo painful hey?!?! |

I love living in the 21st century. Now I'm brewing up some coffee, making a bowl and getting ready to watch the show. When you actually have a visual representation of the positions of Earth and YU55 you really get a sense of just how close it really is. One day an asteroid is going to be too close... it's inevitable really. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4936232 I think prime-time for the fly-by/impact is around 8:00 PM Eastern. So the clock says about 3 hrs. 36 mins from now. So it sounds about right. I'm thinking I'll go outside around 8-9 PM and see if I can see anything. It looks pretty clear out here in eastern WV. |

The telescopes they have can zoom so far in on the moon that they can theoretically see an explosion on the surface BUT The Asteroid set to whiz by Earth closer than the moon is seen as a white spec? Shit ain't adding up. GLP is not showing us their live feed. I was really really counting on GLP, as there would be less suspicion of tampering... just a raw feed from telescope to all of us on our devices. Now with this Live show, it feels controlled and I'm getting the feeling they're not going to give us the real deal. SO Disappointed you guys :( |

The next flyby the will be reporting will be of the flyby of the moon. However I have no fricken clue why they would end the broadcast Prior to the asteroids closest approach, and they gave no explanation. They can't be that dumb to just sign off with a huge audience, really stupid move to acquiring a new potential paying member opportunity. JMO |

It went from a live broadcast, the host was giving his opinion on what happened to the missing belt on Jupiter and BAM back to the recorded looped video/audio. At this very second it's still on the pre-recording. Is that not suspect? WTH is going on? Were they told to take the live broadcast down? Was the question off limits considering they had a PHD Scientist (the one who discovered 2005yu55) as a guest who would probably know what he was talking about? I put off registering for classes today for this bullcrap. |

I thought 23:28 was the "official" time (estimate?), but I'm also seeing all different times posted here. Either way, I'm trying to keep up with it, and I'm going to be tuning into Astromut's live tracking post if and when it is set up. |

Yes, you're right. I got confused with this too, because it was supposed to be at 8.28 AM in Japan. Also, in the link the above poster gave us it says "time to closest approach: 46 min."
