LIVE VIDEO: NASA monitors path of asteroid

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- An asteroid named 20-12 D-A-14 will be just more than 17,000 miles above the Earth's surface on Friday afternoon, February 15th.

It's too small to be viewed by the naked eye, but you might be able to see it with a good pair of binoculars or a telescope. Weather permitting, the asteroid will be visible from parts of Europe, Africa and Asia.

NASA is providing commentary during the close, flyby of a small near-Earth asteroid. Watch below.
