No. The asteroid has passed, having missed Earth by about 17,000 miles. That's fairly close, but scientists new it would miss by about that much.

What is the name of the asteroid that will probably seen on earth this february 15-16 2013?
It does not have an actual name, but it has the designation 2012 DA14
What is the name of the asteroid that passed on feb 15th 2013?
The name was 2012-DA14.
What was the name of the asteroid that passed earths orbit recently in February 2013?
The asteroid does not have a name, but has the designation 2012 DA14
What does DA14 mean for an asteroid?
This asteroid does exist, found in less than two weeks before the Spanish La Sagra Observatory astronomer, 2012 DA14 just temporary number. Has been found to connect 10 days of observation, astronomers generally determined its orbit, similar to the Earth's orbit, but the inclination is large. Therefore, most of the time, the asteroid away from Earth came away. But it does have two opportunities each year the asteroid can run very close to the distance of the Earth. Just said, year 2 chances will run to the near Earth asteroid. Last February 16 this year, when it was closest to the earth about 250 million kilometers, equivalent to the Earth-Moon distance of 6 times, partial, or very far. However, next year's February 15, 2012 DA14l indeed close to the Earth. It grazed from about 21,000 kilometers from the Earth's surface, the height of the geostationary orbit communications satellites used to broadcast television signals are low than us! Though this is really close to the Earth rub in the past, but still just "rub." In the past it does not hit the Earth. 21000 meters in astronomy scale is really close to the standards of everyday life, this distance is far enough. It is unlikely to hit the Earth in February 2012 DA14 next year.

What happened when the 2013 meteor came close to Earth?
The asteroid 2012 DA 14 passed a little over 17,000 miles from earth. Although it passed within the orbits of geosynchronous satellites it did not hit satellite nor cause any disruption on earth other than making people nervous. In an extraordinary coincidence, another object, which had not been detected, entered earth's atmosphere and exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The shockwave shattered windows, partially collapsed a factory, and injured more than 1,200 people. Fortunately nobody was killed. Fragments of this object reached the ground. It was the largest extraterrestrial object to hit earth since the Tunguska event of 1908. Surprisingly, this object was apparently unrelated to 2012 DA14 as it was on a completely different path.
Can the asteroid come back?
The asteroid 2012-DA14 which made a close approach on Feb. 15 2013 came so close that its orbit was significantly changed into one that is closer to the Sun, making another approach unlikely for a very long time. Before Feb. 15 it had an orbital period of 366.2 days and its distance from the Sun varied from 0.8935 to 1.001 astronomical units. After that date its new orbit has a period of 317.2 days and it stays between 0.8289 and 0.9917 AU from the Sun. The Earth moves between 0.9833 and 1.0167 AU from the Sun, so another close approach is theoretically possible but less likely than before.
