Asteroid 1998 QE2 Quietly Passes By

The asteroid and its recently discovered satellite asteroid (not that you can see it here) pass by Earth on 5/31/2013.

The small diagonal line near the middle shows 20 minutes of movement by Asteroid 1998 QE2.
The fainter diagonal line perpendicular to the asteroid's path is an Earth-orbiting satellite.
