NEO Close Approaches OCT2012

NEO Close Approaches OCT2012
October 2012 may hold some large fireball excitement for us to see.  The NEO Close Approach Table below will certainly be changed several times in the coming month.  Clear skies and awaken eyes.  Get outside and watch the night show!   Be sure to report your meteor sightings to this website; thank you!
