NASA TO CHRONICLE CLOSE EARTH FLYBY OF ASTEROID 15FEB2013PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA Television will provide commentary starting
at 2 p.m. EST (11 a.m. PST) on Friday, Feb. 15, during the close, but
safe, flyby of a small near-Earth asteroid named 2012 DA14. NASA
places a high priority on tracking asteroids and protecting our home
planet from them. This flyby will provide a unique opportunity for
researchers to study a near-Earth object up close.

The half-hour broadcast from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in
Pasadena, Calif., will incorporate real-time animation to show the
location of the asteroid in relation to Earth, along with live or
near real-time views of the asteroid from observatories in Australia,
weather permitting.

At the time of its closest approach to Earth at approximately 2:25
p.m. EST (11:25 a.m. PST/ 19:25 UTC), the asteroid will be about
17,150 miles (27,600 kilometers) above Earth's surface.

The commentary will be available via NASA TV and streamed live online
at:
http://www.nasa.gov/ntv

and
http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2

In addition to the commentary, near real-time imagery of the
asteroid's flyby before and after closest approach, made available to
NASA by astronomers in Australia and Europe, weather permitting, will
be streamed beginning at about noon EST (9 a.m. PST) and continuing
through the afternoon at the following website:
http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2

A Ustream feed of the flyby from a telescope at NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., will be streamed for three hours
starting at 9 p.m. EST (8 p.m. CST). To view the feed and ask
researchers questions about the flyby via Twitter, visit:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasa-msfc

The NASA Near Earth Objects (NEO) Program at the agency's headquarters
in Washington, manages and funds the search, study, and monitoring of
NEOs, or asteroids and comets, whose orbits periodically bring them
close to the Earth. NASA's study of NEOs provides important clues to
understanding the origin of our solar system. The objects also are a
repository of natural resources and could become waystations for
future exploration. In collaboration with other external
organizations, one of the program's key goals is to search and
hopefully mitigate potential NEO impacts on Earth. JPL conducts the
NEO program's technical and scientific activities.

Initial Sighting Reports:

13FEB2013 O'Neill Keegan Florennes, Namur, Belgium 22.20 pm GTM+1 15 (very very long) NW left to right (downfall more than anything) yellow/orange/red very bright friction point yes 2 different fragmentations that shined bright almost vertical drop +-75°, really impressive because of how long it took to get down, confused it for a plane at first

13FEB2013 Melissa Riethoven, The Netherlands 22:30 CET 20 NW to SE Red with white long tale, no sound Fireball yes Went outside the house, to walk with the dog. When we saw immediatly something bright and big in the sky. It was amazing!

13FEB2013 Joe Lee Friedrichsthal, Saarland, Germany 22:15 CET (21:15 UTC) 5-10 seconds NW -> SE first there was a short bright light that reminded me of lightning, than I saw it pass with an orange/yellow glow, thought at first I was seeing a burning plane exept for the speed the center was as bright as the center of the sun... but smaller in size I saw no parts falling of... just a fireball passing by I was sitting in my living room, the lightning like light got my attention and then I saw it passing by. As it was heading towards Ramstein AFB I thought ther might be a fighter burning but that would have been smaller in size. I am still not sure what I actually saw but I thought maybe others seen it as well and wanted to report it.

13FEB2013 Hylkema Meppel, The Netherlands 22:30 CET 15 seconds Facing Z-W direction, direction: west to south Fast moving white/red/orange light (fireball) with long tail as bright as the moon, but obviousy much smaller no N/A

13FEB2013 Montie Davis Siegen, Germany 22:40 GMT+1 15-20 seconds SW to SE Orange flames Candle flame brightness White explosive fragmentation Traversed complete field of view

Sighting Report:
Just saw a fireball from my porch moving at a 45-55 degree angle from the horizon while I was facing south with Camelback Mountain in my view. The fireball went below the mountains heading North. I didn't see it break up but with light pollution factored in I feel it was probably big enough to have dropped material in another state north of AZ. For reference my house is roughly 60th st and Thomas in Scottsdale, AZ. Time to check sky cams!
