Thanks for the link. I think you got the date wrong it looks like the first "near miss" is in late April of 2003. In April 2003 its gets as close as .113 au (still over 9 million miles so its not really a near miss) By June 17th the asteroid will be .245 au away or close to a quarter of the distance between the earth and the sun. On May 5th and 6th in 2038 it should get as close as .094 au but that is still over 8 and a half million miles away or more then 34 times as far away as our moon. I ran the simulation out to Jul 27, 2050 before I grew tired of it. If there are a bunch of near misses between 2050 and 2079 I guess I missed them. Tim
