I could spot it tonight but don't have access to a 14" or greater. Something that bugs me about our club. Nice pics. This one was only discovered about a week ago.

Estimated now at 1km or .6 miles in diameter. Neat picture by radar. Disturbing that a asteroid that large whizzed by so close with little warning. http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/21/12344614-that-big-asteroid-was-even-bigger?lite William Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
