Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.

On 11 Dec 2005 there were 748 known Potentially
Hazardous Asteroids
December 2005 Earth-asteroid encounters
ASTEROID

DATE (UT) MISS DISTANCE MAG. SIZE
2005 XA8 Dec. 5 0.6 LD 15 ~35 m
2005 XX Dec. 9 2.2 LD 18 ~20 m
2005 WC1 Dec. 14 7.9 LD 15 ~370 m
Notes: LD is a "Lunar Distance." 1 LD = 384,401 km, the distance between Earth and the Moon. 1 LD also equals 0.00256 AU. MAG is the visual magnitude of the asteroid on the date of closest approach.

For the last 2 weeks on Fri nights as I drove home, I saw an unusually bright star in the south horizon. I didn't know if it was a planet, a satellite or what, but it must be Venus.
