    Ooh I like that. I see that those in the know are playing down a connection with 2012 DA14 as the trajectory is different.

    I'm heading up onto Exmoor later, one of the least light polluted regions of the country but the viewing's not looking good at the moment. NASA TV are broadcasting the flyby live but I don't know what they're looking at it with.

    You won't see it with naked eye David. A half decent pair of binocs, but it'll be a bugger to track.

    It should come up in the east around eight ish and be visible for about four hours.
