I know whenever I post about space launches etc on the news page they get postponed, but surely even I can't stop this one from happening. Asteroid 2000 QW7 is going to pass close to Earth tonight, at about 9:54pm Sydney time. More info here: An asteroid as wide as a skyscraper is tall will glide harmlessly past Earth tomorrow night (Sept. 14). Asteroid 2000 QW7 is between 1,000 and 2,000 feet wide (300 to 600 meters) and will fly by at a distance of 3 million miles (5 million kilometers) from our planet at 7:54 p.m. EDT, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The asteroid, moving 14,361 mph (23,100 km/h), poses no danger to Earth on this pass.
