Elevated Green Fireball Activity Expected for 6MAR2011 - 9MAR2011



NEOs Green Fireballs...Yes RATS! photo credit:Takashi Shinohara, Kyoto University/PNAS
 Elevated Green Fireball Activity Worldwide Projected* for 6MAR2011- 9MAR2011
Have your cameras ready for a capture!  Alberta, are you ready?
Known NEOs (Near-Earth Objects) asteroids will pass safely but their debris and unknowns are likely to produce Green Fireball and Bolides this coming Monday through Wednesday. (March 6-9) Get out and watch! 

 22 /41(as of 7MAR) New NEO discoveries have been made for March 2011 with more to come! 
 Please get the word out and post a link to this site on Facebook, Twitter, Forums, News Stories, etc. Thanks!  IF you like this site bookmark the PUPPY http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/

Previously Undiscovered NEO Asteroid 2011 CQ1 Just Misses Earth! Meteor/Meteorite News 5FEB2011

Cosmic NEO Asteroid "Sofa"- A "Near-Miss" Narrowly Misses      

Very Small Asteroid Makes Close Earth Approach on February 4, 2011
Don Yeomans and Paul Chodas
NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office
February 4, 2011
Asteroid 2011 CQ1 was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey on February 4 and made a record close Earth approach 14 hours later on February 4 at 19:39 UT (14:39 EST). It passed to within 0.85 Earth radii (5480 km) of the Earth's surface over a region in the mid-Pacific. This object, only about one meter in diameter, is the closest non-impacting object in our asteroid catalog to date. Prior to the Earth close approach, this object was in a so-called Apollo-class orbit that was mostly outside the Earth's orbit. Following the close approach, the Earth's gravitational attraction modified the object's orbit to an Aten-class orbit where the asteroid spends almost all of it a time inside the Earth's orbit. ...
