Has anyone seen the info on the asteroid coming between earth and the moon on Tues?

Here's a NASA link:

Also found this:
Fun fact for amateur astronomers: The asteroid is actually moving too fast for the Hubble Space Telescope, but, according to CNN, you could spot it with a telescope of at least 6 inches in diameter.

I have my big telescope, diameter about 8". I'll try to track it.
