Space Weather News for May 29, 2012
http://spaceweather.com

ASTEROID FLYBY: A small asteroid is flying past Earth today inside the orbit of geosynchronous satellites and only 14,000 km above the surface of our planet. Named "2012 KT42," the 3- to 10-meter wide space rock ranks #6 on the top-20 list of known close-approachers to Earth, which makes it significant despite its small size.  More information and images may be found on http://spaceweather.com .


Doesn't look like it will be flying by me as it is not on the list but there are others that should be visible for me in Albury.  On May 31st the the ISS with Dragon attached flys by here and that is visible with the naked eye if here are no clouds.

Nice to know that on 5/30 there were 1293 potentially dangerous arteroids. I guess I should put my tinfoil hat on.  biggrin
