Asteroid 2004 BL86, as it swept near Earth -- Jan 26, 2015

UPDATE: Big asteroid swept close on January 26

Cool! The passage of asteroid 2004 BL86 - passing closer today than any large asteroid of its size until 2027. Jean Paul Mertens just sent it and said it was seen through the telescope of Slooh.com in Chile.
