Alinda will be visible in the constellation Gemini, which appears in the Northern Hemisphere just after dark and remains visible throughout the night, skywatching expert Jamie Carter said ...
Earth has a new “mini-moon” after an asteroid has joined our orbit.. The object, known as 2024 PT5, has been chasing after us for years. Now, it has become close enough to be pulled in by our ...
C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is a non-periodic comet, which reached perihelion on 13 January 2025, at a distance of 0.09 AU (13 million km) from the Sun.It is potentially the brightest comet of 2025, [6] with an apparent magnitude reaching −3.8 on the day of its perihelion. [5]
The Quadrantids usually aren’t visible in the Southern Hemisphere because the shower’s radiant point, or the point at which the meteors appear to come from, doesn’t rise that high in its sky ...
Asteroid Perigee Date in 2024 2009 JV 1: 0.0571 AU (19.21 LD) January 5 2021 BL 3: 0.0441 AU (17.16 LD) January 23 [1]: 2017 BG 92: 0.0301 AU (11.71 LD) January 25 2011 CQ 1: 0.0289 AU (11.26 LD)
Satellites in geostationary orbit. From the list in the first section, these are the closest known asteroids per year that approach Earth within one lunar distance.More than one asteroid per year may be listed if its geocentric distance [note 1] is within a tenth of the lunar distance, or 0.10 LD.
Its visible spectrum obtained with GTC is consistent with that of an Sv-type asteroid or perhaps lunar ejecta. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Its reflectance spectrum in the range 350–2,350 nanometres (3,500–23,500 Å) obtained with LDT/IRTF is inconsistent with artificial objects and asteroids, its surface is quite red, well matched by samples of the Moon ...
While meteors can be comprised of bits of asteroids and comets, the Geminids in particular come from a specific asteroid, 3200 Phaethon, which was discovered in 1983. ... The Geminids are visible ...
