Not sure what part of the world will be able to see it. But I'll go outside and take a look.

Can anyone find out what part of the world will have the best viewing?

Or go to http://www.space.com/ to watch. Shows the path of the asteroid as well. If you can see those constellations I assume you will be able to see it outside.

Just downloaded a few apps. Looks likes its gonna be in the eastern sky. Going off this image below.

Click for larger image

Find mars and it looks like it will be to the north a bit. 2000 EM26 is the asteroid on the map.

Funny I'm in Ft Laud. Thinking to look east? Debating if I should take a drive to the beach or not. But truthfully I have no idea where to look. Just guessing east.
