NEO Asteroids Close Approaches JAN 2017

NEO Asteroids Close Approaches JAN 2017
c 2017 Dirk Ross

Please report your meteor sightings to this website for posting- Remember IF you are looking for a report and no one reports then everyone lacks information; thank you.

http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2000/11/meteor-fireball-report-form.html

There are currently 1 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of January 2017. I expect that 10 NEOs or more, 10LD or less, will be discovered before month end. Expect some spectacular bolides, fireballs, and meteors this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and following the passing of the less than 10LD NEOs and 13 small mountain-sized NEO asteroids, diameters ranging from 400m-3.8km, that will safely pass this month.

Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
Cameras Ready!

2016 The FOURTH Year of "CERTAIN Uncertainty" ™ / Meteors, Asteroids, Comets, and MORE!!

at 4:22 pm

Sharp increase in number of <0.5AU asteroids for current period

In the previous 24-hours, the number of <0.5AU asteroid discoveries for current period (L) has sharply increased from 284 to 1199 (increase of 915). 1 AU = ~150 million kilometers

As of yesterday, the most recent announced discovery was 2016 LJ11 (decimal equivalent = 2016, L, 284). As of 07:55 British Summer Time, this has been superseded by 2016 LY47 (decimal equivalent = 2016, L, 1199).

Within those 915 new discoveries, none have a close-approach of <10LD - which is quite unusual.

Normally (whatever 'normal' is), 0.7% of the running total <0.5AU discoveries are in the <10LD range, with 0.1% of the running total making a close-approach <1LD.
1 LD = Lunar Distance = ~384,000 kilometers

Remarks:
1) New period "M" starts as of 00:00 Thu-16-June-2016.
2) In comparison, 2015 (periods A-L inclusive) saw a total of 47,551 new <0.5AU discoveries. For the same period of 2016, so far, there have been a total of 29,742 new <0.5AU discoveries - so we're currently 'down' by 37.5% on last year's totals (so far).

2016 LP10 made a close approach to Earth 09JUN2016.

Newly-announced NEO 2016 LP10 made a very close approach at a distance of 0.0004AU / 0.19LD / 40,657 miles (nominal) from Earth's surface at 18:32Z yesterday (Thu-09-Jun-2016) - traveling at a relative velocity of 35,798 mph. 2016 LP10 is estimated to have a diameter of 3m-7m.

The Apollo-class 2016 LP10 was first observed on June 8th 2016, however according to JPL data, it also made a previous close-approach on June 8 2013 at 9.12PM at a nominal distance of 1,491,579 miles (min. distance 1,986 miles) from Earth's surface. Also, according to JPL data, its Earth MOID (Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance) is listed at 8.53E-6 miles = -3,171 miles.

2016 LP10 found its way on to JPL's 'all-time closest 100 asteroids' table at position #44 and demoted 2014 AG51 to position #101. (2014 AG51 made its close-approach in 2014).

There are 30 asteroids listed in this table. 8 are less than 1LD. 1 of them (2015 DY30) was below geo-stationary (22,236 miles) altitude - at a distance of +/- 5,000 miles from Earth surface. YPD refers to Year of discovery, NASA period of discovery, and the (decimal format) number of the object within the stated period. E.g. 2016:C/726 = the 726th NEO discovery of NASA Period "C" (Feb1-Feb15), from year 2016.
