if the sky is clear then binoculars will be sufficient to see it.
or watch it live on virtualtelescope
 
It’s 300 feet wide and scientists think, ‘it probably won’t hit Earth’!

If it hit Manchester city centre it would probably wipe out most of the North West, Yorkshire and North Wales.
 
It’s between 120 and 270 feet in diameter and would destroy Manchester City centre if it hit but nothing else.
 
Here’s asteroid Apophis, 2,500 feet wide, said to be on course with us for April 2029:

I'm currently in Morocco and I don't think I've ever seen the moon and Venus as bright as they were here last night
whereabouts are you?
spent lots of time there. my favourite place in the whole world.
seriously thinking about upping sticks and moving there.
essaouira probably.

the people are really lovely and extremely welcoming.
the red wine is cheap & of a very high standard.
the camelmilk cheese is wonderful, the food in general is stunning.
