Will we be hit by an asteroid in 2012?
There are no asteroids being tracked, observed, or studied that are in orbits in which their positions will coincide with the Earth's position at any time in 2012. (As I write this, roughly 2/3 of 2012 have passed relatively uneventfully, at least by comparison with global devastation.)
Would the sun look bright or dim from Pluto?
An asteroid itself does not emit light, like a comet. It can only reflect light like the moon. The moon only looks bright because it reflects light from the sun. So when you think about it, an asteroid, like the one that passed the earth back in NOV 2011, was only the size of an aircraft carrier which is negligible compared to the moon. The moon doesn't seem bright compared to the sun, and so an asteroid wouldn't seem bright compared to the moon. You can't actually see an asteroid with the naked eye; it would take a telescope.
