FROM THE METEORITE LIST- http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news174.html Near-Earth Asteroid 2012 DA14 to Miss Earth on February 15, 2013 Paul Chodas, Jon Giorgini & Don Yeomans NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office March 6, 2012 [Diagram] In this oblique view, the path of near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 is seen passing close to Earth on Feb. 15, 2013. Discovered by the LaSagra observatory in southern Spain, the small asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass within about 3.5 Earth radii of the Earth's surface on February 15, 2013. Although its size is not well determined, this near-Earth asteroid is thought to be about 45 meters in diameter. Asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass inside the geosynchronous satellite ring, located about 35,800 km above the equator. Its orbit about the sun can bring it no closer to the Earth's surface than 3.2 Earth radii on February 15, 2013. On this date, the asteroid will travel rapidly from the southern evening sky into the northern morning sky with its closest Earth approach occurring about 19:26 UTC when it will achieve a magnitude of less than seven, which is somewhat fainter than naked eye visibility. About 4 minutes after its Earth close approach, there is a good chance it will pass into the Earth's shadow for about 18 minutes or so before reappearing from the eclipse. When traveling rapidly into the northern morning sky, 2012 DA14 will quickly fade in brightness.
May I continue opening cans of worms/barrels of snakes 'til the day I move on to the next sphere of existence. Joe, I didn't understand that you were blasting SPOC. But since someone brought it up... (barrels and barrels of really BIG snakes)... Steve hit the proverbial nail on the head. When it became necessary to move the original Grim scope and dome SLAS debated whether or not to build a better observatory in Stansbury near the original site or to simply withdraw from that public venue and pursue a darker site for the use of club members. SLAS/we overwhelmingly voted to do the former and continue public outreach. That's precisely why we now have SPOC II, a wonderful, public-friendly, family-friendly, and even observing-friendly (especially given the convenience) observatory. Daniel, I recall that you once said that maybe SLAS didn't deserve any credit for the outreach that we do. I beg to differ. Our commitment to public education/outreach is only partially represented by the superb facilities that SLAS/we all pitched in to make a reality - facilities whose primary function is PUBLIC OUTREACH. Please, someone, name for me just one other astronomy club that has no endowment or outside source of income that does as much as SLAS. Please. (I've asked the same question for years but there have been no takers.) Put the lid back on that barrel...
