On break at work and saw a post about this Asteriod. 

Anyone else seen anything on it.

It approached in the Sun's glare and was not seen until it had passed. It passed between us and the Moon.

200' wide. The telescope in South Africa that searches for NEO's spotted it after it had gone by.

There's a little bit about it on earthsky.org.

I always check the table if you scroll down on spacewather.com. It's not quite as busy now, but it's often busy with lot's of "red" (the more dangerous passes), and many of them are only recently discovered (when they come close to us), so it's fairly typical that they sneak up on us, even if not from the direction of the Sun.
