SPINNING ASTEROID FLYBY: A 50-meter asteroid is flying past the Earth-Moon 
system on April 15th.  There's no danger of a collision, but the 50-meter 
space rock is remarkable. It is elongated and spinning, which causes the 
asteroid to flash like a strobe light in amateur telescopes. Video and 
observing tips are highlighted on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com
