    I don't know where you live. But the best time to see the asteroid is actually right now. Starting from 4pm eastern time until like midnight eastern it was supposed to be easily visible. I don't know if it means its passed but i would assume it has passed or isin the process of passing.

    Yes. The asteroid passed by several hours ago.

    If you have a decent sized telescope, you may still be able to see it. It was never visible to the naked eye.
