I Filmed the Asteroid That Nearly Hit Earth

The asteroid 1997 NC1 is a near earth objected labeled a "Potentially Dangerious Asteroid" by NASA. It had its closes approach recently, so I took the opportunity to photograph it using my camera and telescope. In this video, I show you how I tracked the asteroid, what would happen if it hit Earth, and how many we've found so far.
