c2015 Dirk Ross...Tokyo |
ALERT- Increased Meteor Activity! Expect some large fireballs this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and following there passing of the
FOUR small mountain-sized NEO asteroids that will safely pass this month.
285331 (1999 FN53), 2011 SM68 ,5381 Sekhmet,
1999 XM141
There are currently
12 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 15 16 17 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of MAY 2015; expect that 10 or more 10LD NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
