I hope they haven't got their calculations wrong, or that should be

Quotes from the web site -

"However, anyone hoping for a glimpse of the enormous rock will need a telescope."

"To make it even more difficult to observe, it will be moving very quickly across the sky as it passes."

Hmmm, that sounds difficult. But, hey! It's worth a try isn't it?

"The time of the nearest fly-by is expected to be at 11.28 GMT on Tuesday, November 8"

Er, so that's in the middle of the daytime. I suspect that may make it a little more difficult.
