February 2015 Meteors
c 2015 Dirk Ross

There are currently 2  3 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of February; expect that 10 or more NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!

Unfortunately we will be Moonblind for ground-based detection from 01FEB2014 until about the 11FEB2015 and from 26FEB-13MAR2015, so I expect several asteroids that will go undetected.
There are four small mountan-sized asteroids that will safely pass towards the mid to end of this month and I expect we will a sharp rise in meteors observed during this time, 23-28 FEB..
