NEOs Close Approach April 2016

NEOs Close Approach April 2016
Click on Image to Enlarge
April 2016 Asteroid Activity
c2016 Dirk Ross
Please report your meteor sightings to this website for posting- Remember IF you are looking for a report and no one reports then everyone lacks information; thank you.
http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2000/11/meteor-fireball-report-form.html

There are currently 3,11,24  32 known NEO Asteroids discovered that will pass within approximately 10LD or less (LD stands for "Lunar Distance"), in the month of April 2016. I expect that 15-25 or more 10LD NEOs will be discovered before month end.

Expect some spectacular bolides, fireballs, and meteors this month and especially large ones 3-5 days before and following the passing of 11 small mountain-sized NEO asteroids, diameters ranging from 500m- 2.5.km, that will safely pass this month.

Be ready for some bolide, fireball, and meteor activity!
Cameras Ready!
If you capture a video or photo of a meteor please email to - LunarMeteoriteHunter@gmail.com
