RIP- Chinese Astronomer Zeng Wei Zhou 1988-2015
I have a very sad news that Zeng Wei Zhou (Born on November 9, 1988, died at home 2:00am on May 11 2015. He loved astronomy since he was a child. He specialized in visual meteor observations, satellite observations and forecasts of asteroid occultations. Before his death, he also built a small remote control observatory at home. He provided meteor observers with a lot of help and has been recognized by everyone in China for his contributions.So all of China's astronomy enthusiasts were sadden of the news of his death. Chinese astronomy researcher Quanzhi Ye, has submitted an asteroid naming proposal, hoping to commemorate him for his contribution to Chinese astronomy. I think we should all remember his contribution.

因此今年特別邀請在國際隕石界具有重量級地位的Dirk Ross先生來台，期待夠為台灣天文界帶來全新視野。
貳、目的：
一、增進國內天文界對於流星隕石的知能
二、建立與國際天文界接軌的流星隕石監測系統
三、提升屏東縣天文聯盟學校及天文種子教師隕石知能
參、辦理單位：
一、主辦單位：屏東縣政府教育處
二、承辦單位：唐榮國小
四、協辦單位：台電南部展示館、台北市天文協會、高士國小
肆、活動日期：104年6月13日(星期六)13:00 -15:40
伍、活動地點：台電南部展示館副館二樓會議室

Asteroid 1566 Icarus to Pass Earth 16JUN2015

Asteroid 1566 Icarus to Pass Earth 16JUN2015
 Potentially Hazardous Asteroid to flyby Earth - 16JUN2015
Posted on YouTube by nemesis maturity 2,099 views
Published on Jun 14, 2015
1566 Icarus is a large asteroid about 1.4 Km in size and is belong to Apollo group that comes close to Earth.
It is named after Icarus of Greek mythology, who flew too close to the Sun. It was discovered in 1949 by Walter Baade.
on June 14, 1968, Icarus came as close as 4 millon miles and became the first minor planet to be observed using radar.
In the spring of 1967 MIT students put a project code named "Project Icarus ", to save Earth in case it might collide with Earth, and that project became the subject of Hollywood movie "Meteor". For the first time scientists seriously studied as how to avert a doomsday impacts from space rocks, as Icarus is large enough to be classified as a killer asteroid!

The next close approach will be June 16, 2015, at 0.05383 AU (8,053,000 km; 5,004,000 mi).http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/
