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!
