Update- Alert for end of month large meteors!

Meteors December 2014
c2014 Dirk Ross...Tokyo |
There are currently
3 8 9 10 11 14 16 17 19 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of December; 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 02DEC until about the 12DEC and from 30DEC-JAN2015 so expect several asteroids that will go undetected. There are three small mountan-sized asteroids that will safely pass this month
