Even though Yu55 will come closer than Moon in terms of distance, it seems there is no threat. By the way, are any sky watchers planning to catch a glimpse of it? News says
It will come within about 201,700 miles (324,600 km) of our planet at 6:28 p.m. EST (2328 GMT) tomorrow — closer than the moon, which orbits 238,864 miles (384,499 km) from us on average.
