The Asteroid 99942 Aphophis (2004 MN4) makes it closest approach to Earth (0.268 AU) on 8th August.

Those in the know will understand that it is worth observing.

Thanks for the link JRehling.
I read blobrana's post as an encouragement to amateur astronomers to observe today's passing, that's why I asked for images.
Now that I reread blobrana's post, I think I probably missunderstood his words ; of course there is no doubt that we have to carefully monitor this asteroid every time we get the opportunity.
