November 20, 2009 - ASTEROID FLYBY: Newly-discovered asteroid 2009 WJ6 is flying past Earth today only 110,000 miles away--about half the distance to the Moon. At the time of closest approach (1100 UT on Nov. 20th) the 14-meter-wide space rock will glide through the northern constellation Draco glowing like a 16th magnitude star. [3D orbit] [ephemeris]
Cave Editor's NOTE: 14 meters = 45.9317585 feet
