Enjoy this collection of images from outer space in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

This year, just after Valentine’s Day, asteroid 2012 DA14 will make a close flyby of our planet.

About 45 meters in diameter, and passing within 27,700 kilometers of the Earth’s surface, NASA says the massive space rock will make a record-setting close approach.
