During closest approach to Earth the asteroid will reach about apparent magnitude 10, but the Moon will be a 80% waning gibbous. At peak brightness, the asteroid should be observable to amateur astronomers with small telescopes, but it will be best seen in the Northern hemisphere. On 31 October 2015 at 11:00 UT (4AM PDT) that asteroid will be in the constellation of Taurus about 9 degrees from the Moon. ^ Cite error: The named reference MPEC2015-T86 was invoked but never defined (see the help page). ^ Cite error: The named reference jpldata was invoked but never defined (see the help page). ^ Cite error: The named reference h was invoked but never defined (see the help page). ^ Cite error: The named reference jpl-close was invoked but never defined (see the help page). ^ Cite error: The named reference NEODyS2015 was invoked but never defined (see the help page).
