NEO Asteroids Close Approaches November 2015
ALERT! update- suddenly many new 10LD or less discovered!
http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.gr/2015/11/neo-asteroids-close-approaches-november.html
There are currently 15 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for “Lunar Distance”), in the month of November 2015.
I expect that 10 or more 10LD NEOs will be discovered before month end.
Expect some spectacular bolides, fireballs, and meteors this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and following the passing of 7 small mountain-sized NEO asteroids and 1 comet, diameters ranging from 500m- 3.km, that will safely pass this month.
Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity! http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.gr/
Cameras Ready!
Please report your meteor sightings to this website for posting- Remember IF you are looking for a report and no one reports then everyone lacks information; thank you.
