Queso Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Sooooooo . . About the asteroid that's supposed to be flyin' by earth today/night . . It's going to be about as close to earth as the moon. I'm still over in california for a few days, will I be able to see it tonight if I drive up in the mtns where it's clear and the city doesn't eat up all the stars with their pseudosunlight? Will it be gone by then, or what? I want to see this beast!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to Spaceweather & they have a telescope photo of the track taken by an ameteur astronomer & links to other similar photos.http://spaceweather3.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
