No - not the Wallace and Gromit movie but the passage of the near Earth object 50 metre Asteroid 2012 DA14 which will sweep past the Earth about teatime tomorrow 11:25 a.m. PST (2:25 p.m. EST / 19:25 UTC). Watch it happen live on TV here if you can stand the suspense. NASA to Chronicle Close Earth Flyby of Asteroid - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Reported as visible in the UK for two hours between the constellations of Leo and the Plough in the North Eastern sky.--- times may vary!
