Scientists are monitoring the orbit of asteroid 2007 TU24. The asteroid, believed to be between 150 meters (500 feet) and 610 meters (2,000 feet) in size, is expected to fly past Earth on Jan. 29, with its closest distance being about 537,500 kilometers (334,000 miles) at 12:33 a.m. Pacific time (3:33 a.m. Eastern time). It should be observable that night by amateur astronomers with modest-sized telescopes.

This has happened before, and as in this case, (although at the time a national newspaper printed an artist's impression that suggested otherwise) it will never be anywhere as near to us as the Moon is. Not really a near miss, but interesting.
