Asteroid 2007 TU24 will pass Earth just a bit further away than the Moon next Monday night / Tuesday morning (the 28/29th) MST. Shining at mag 11.2 and zipping along at 3 arc minutes per minute it and it's motion against the background sky should be visible in even small scopes. For Utahans it will be close to straight up Monday evening at 7 pm and be visible for several hours before getting down in the murk an hour or so after midnight.
