Space Weather News Bulletin: Asteroid with Close Flyby 12JAN10

Space Weather News for Jan. 12, 2010
http://spaceweather.com


CURIOUS ASTEROID FLYBY: A curious object is about to fly past Earth only one-third the distance to the Moon. Catalogued as a 10m-class asteroid, 2010 AL30 has an orbital period of almost exactly 1 year. This raises the possibility that it might not be a natural object, but rather a piece of some spacecraft from our own planet. At closest approach on Jan. 13th, 2010 AL30 will streak through Orion, Taurus, and Pisces glowing like a 14th magnitude star. Experienced amateur astronomers are encouraged to monitor the flyby.

Tagish Lake Meteorite Video 12JAN2010


posted on YouTube by
RoyalOntarioMuseum

The ultimate deep-space time capsule, this small black rock plummeted from space carrying organic material dating back 4.5 billion years. Much of the meteorite remains frozen in the Royal Ontario Museums vaults for research, but a sizable piece is on display in the Teck Suite of Galleries: Earths Treasure and is one of the Museums iconic treasures.
