NEO Asteroids Close Approaches to Earth APRIL 2015 ALERT- Increased Meteor Activity!

NEO Asteroids Close Approaches to Earth APRIL 2015

ALERT- Increased Meteor Activity!  Expect some large fireballs this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and prior to 07APR2015 as there will be large debris associated with TWO mountain-sized asteroids 2063 Bacchus and 235756 (2004 VC)

  There are currently 3 10 11 12 13 15 17 18 19  20 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of April; expect that 10 or more 10LD NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
There are TWO small mountain-sized asteroids that will safely pass this month.

February 2015 Meteors
c 2015 Dirk Ross

There are currently 2  3 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less, LD stands for "Lunar Distance", in the month of February; expect that 10 or more NEOs will be discovered before month end. Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!

Unfortunately we will be Moonblind for ground-based detection from 01FEB2014 until about the 11FEB2015 and from 26FEB-13MAR2015, so I expect several asteroids that will go undetected.
There are four small mountan-sized asteroids that will safely pass towards the mid to end of this month and I expect we will a sharp rise in meteors observed during this time, 23-28 FEB..
