Odille, have you defined your location in HA? When I logged on it immediately offered to draw a chart for me.

Asteroid 2012 DA14 flyby
On February 15th/16th the asteroid 2012 DA14 will fly past the Earth at a distance of only 34000 km (inside the ring of geostationary satellites). At a maximum magnitude of about 7.4 it will not be visible to the naked eye, but should be visible through binoculars if you know where to look and live in the right part of the world. Click here for a sky chart and table of positions for your location.
The east coast only gets a couple of hours before twilight, starting around 02:00
