A passing asteroid the size of the world's most massive cruise ships has its own moon, NASA says. It flew safely past the Earth this morning. Try to spot it with binoculars or a telescope tonight.

The best times to view it with the naked eye are after dark, till about 1am EST. Pick one of the stars in near where it's set to pass in that diagram, and watch closely!

They should have stuck a probe on this one and piggybacked the 200 year orbit.
