How much time left till Aphosis will pass as close as 19,400 miles (31,300 kilometers) to the Earth's surface?

This will bring it within the orbits of geosynchronous communication satellites. It may reach a magnitude of 3.4, making it visible to the naked eye from a dark night sky location. Since there will be no moon, this could be a spectacular event. Though it will be an extremely close encounter, there is only a on in a million chance of the asteroid actually hitting the Earth.
