On 29th Jan 2008, 2007 TU24 is going to be nearer to earth around 5,00,000 Kilometers. There are good lot of discussion going on the Plasma discharge.
Here is something interesting on the same which I gathered form the site

"Towards the side of the sun the magnetosphere extends out about 64,000 kilometers (about 40,000 miles; the solar wind 'pushes' it back). On the other side, away from the Sun, the "tail" part can extend to over more than 6,000,000 kilometers.
This entire mass is charged magnetically. We have asteroids and comets enter this field all the time. Most are rather small. If a large (like the size of TU24) negatively-charged body enters this field, there will be a plasma discharge. Like Earth being electrically shocked for a week or so." Unquote
An attempt had been made to find out whether astrologically, this discharge as envisaged, would it happen. To this I went through the video clipping of the probable event at the below mentioned site.

If one carefully look at the video, one can notice that the earth, asteroid TU24 and Venus fall in line on 29th January 2008.
Casting the horoscope on that day I observe, Jupiter is in the constellation of Purvashada, a constellation ruled by Venus, and Venus in the constellation of Moola ruled by Ketu, mars is seen to be in constellation of Mrigasira ruled by itself. These planets are in opposition . Venus in Mundane astrology rules, space , electricity, while Jupiter for expansion and Mars is considered to associated with Physical force. Hence on the one side Cruel Mandi is seen to placed in star of Aslesha ruled by Mercury from 8th house to Sagitarrius. When a faster Planet with greater longitude is ahead of slower of planet of lesser longitude an easarpapha yoga is formed. This is considered to be unfavourable. Here a slower planet Mars is at 0deg06minutes in Gemini , while Venus is at 12deg 38 minutes in Sagittarius. A similar situation is seen between Sun , Mercury and Venus. With Mars in retrograde motion, Radda yoga too seems to be formed Which gives an inference that on the oneside, Martian physical force would act and on the opposite the electrical force generated by venus would act on the asteroid, thus creating a situation for the great amount of plasma discharge to happen as envisaged by the scientist/astronomers.This discharge if it happens could effect,the south east, South and North eastern region of the globe. There could be destruction due to lightining or fire in that region. There could be reports of heavy surge of electrical power and destruction due to the same can be predicted. There would reports of aerial accidents due to Electrical malfunctioning. Reports relating to High tension Electrical failures ,accidents & generators blasts would also be heard.
