    Anyone else realised how remarkably appropriate it is that this asteroid should be passing the Earth just now? Called QE2, and at nearest approach exactly 60 years after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II !! What a coincidence.

    Just one of those coincidences like you say Steve – But, I wonder, will anyone bring it to the attention of the Royal Family?

    Hmmm – seems like a job for the Director of the Asteroids & Minor Planets Section. Now I wonder who that might be??
