This article:-
Closest Flyby of Large Asteroid to be Naked-Eye Visible
http://www.space.com/spacewatch/050204_2004_mn4.html

gives details, as the title suggests, of a close flyby of an asteroid.
Looking at the diagrams made me wonder if it would be possible to
capture the asteroid in either earth or moon orbit or a Lagrange point
for future mining?
