I can tell the difference between space and human made junk but although one person did email me suggesting it was a rocket body all of the other replies I've had on the Minor Planet list say their calculations have it being a rock. But, like I say, I can't tell the difference so I continue to await word from the Minor Planet Center to see what they say. patrick On 14 Jan 2012, at 06:07, Chuck Hards wrote:
