March Meteors
c2015 Dirk Ross

There are currently ~~5 6 11 12 16 17 19 25 26 27~~ 28 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of March; expect that 10 or more NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!

There are ~~four~~ are now FIVE including newly found 2014 YB35 to pass on 27MAR2015, small mountain-sized asteroids that will safely pass this month.
