to make close approach on 1-1-11
 - one recently discovered

(2009 BS5) Asteroid close approach 1-1-11 (c)NASA/JPL/Caltech

Expect an increase in fireball/bolide/meteor/meteorite activity for the rest of January 2011!

We have already had and will have more
  bright green fireballs-meteors-bolides
as we approach the date of 11JAN2010, TODAY!!!  and until the end of the month.

Cameras/ cellphones ready? Please email if you capture one.   LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com

 Three to watch are Asteroid 2009 BS5 and 2011 AH5 with lunar distances (LD) of 3.4
