(308635) 2005 YU 55, provisionally named 2005 YU 55, is a potentially hazardous asteroid [2] 360 ± 40 meters in diameter, as measured after its Earth flyby. [8] Previously it was estimated to be 310 meters [ 5 ] or about 400 m (1,300 feet ) in diameter.
(308635) 2005 YU 55 was rated level 1 in February 2010, [67] and downgraded to 0 on 9 April 2010. The chance of an actual collision with an asteroid like 2005 YU55 (~400 meters in diameter) is about 1 percent in the next thousand years. [68] 2009 (359369) 2009 YG was rated level 1 on 28 December 2009 (with an observation arc of 10 days). [69]

On 9 November 2011, UVOT photographed the asteroid 2005 YU55 as the asteroid made a close flyby of the Earth. [13] On 3 June 2013, UVOT unveiled a massive ultraviolet survey of the nearby Magellanic Clouds. [14] In August 2017, UVOT imaged UV emissions from gravitational wave event GW170817 detected by LIGO & Virgo detectors. [15] [16]
2011 – The potentially hazardous asteroid 2005 YU55 passes 0.85 lunar distances from Earth (about 324,600 kilometres or 201,700 miles), the closest known approach by an asteroid of its brightness since 2010 XC 15 in 1976.
