Asteroid 2012 DA14

[Фей]

Сегодня Вблизи от нас промчится Астероид

Asteroid 2012 DA14 will reach the peak magnitude ~7 on February 15 around 1930 UT and it will be brighter than 9th magnitude for approximately 3 hours (18h00-21h30 UTC). At the moment of the close approach 2012 DA14 will move at ~ 2800"/min (slightly less that 1 degree per minute). This means it will need only 40 seconds to move the apparent diameter of the Moon.

The animated gif below made by Geert Barentsen indicate (green areas) parts of the world where the Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be above (and the Sun below) the horizon during the period of its maximum brigthness (18h00-21h30 UTC of Feb. 15).
