bit close for comfort

I think you meant 31st March 2007, when asteroid 2006 VV2 will pass
about 2 million miles from the earth (about 10 times further away than
the moon).

I guess the only thing that is slightly different about this PHA
(Potentialy Hazardous Asteroid) is it's size at 2km, most others are just
few tens or hundreds of metres across. But it's only one of 842 known
PHAs.

Scroll down to the bottom of:

For a list of forthcoming "close" encounters. It's currently fairly empty
quite often there are half a dozen or more listed. 2006 VV2 come with 8.8
Lunar Distances according to that.
