"The asteroid approached Earth mostly during the daytime".
At first I snorted (did TX68 go to bed at nightfall?!).
Then I realised that what was meant (but not said) is that the thing is pretty small/low albedo & only visible at most recent closest approach.
And closest (i.e. visible) approach was on the sun-lit hemisphere of Earth.
Or am I talking out of my hat?!
