NEOs Asteroids Close Approach September 2012

NEOs Asteroids Close Approach September 2012

September 2012 will be an active month for fireballs and meteors.  Many more NEOs are yet to be discovered before the month is over; so check back as this table below is likely to have additions. Get outside and observe when able on clear nights.  The best time for viewing is from 10pm-4:30am.
Enjoy the night sky, stars, moon, planets, etc. and if luck several meteors! If you have a sighting of a meteor, fireball or bolide please file a sighting report and document with others. Thank You!
