US-SPACE-ASTRONOMY
This image obtained from NASA shows a sequence of radar images of asteroid 1998 QE2 when the asteroid was about 3.75 million miles (6 million kilometers) from Earth. The small white dot at lower right is a moon, or satellite, orbiting asteroid, scientist reported. Asteroid 1998 will make its closest approach to Earth at 4:59 pm (20:59 GMT) on May 31, 2013, at a distance of 3.6 million miles (5.8 million kilometers), or about 15 times the distance between Earth and the moon, offering scientists a rare chance to study a massive flying object with its own moon, NASA said. == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO / NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSSR / NO SALES / NO MARKETING / NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
