| Re: Chance to view a near earth Asteroid
Thanks.
No, it wasn't quite that fast.
The movement from bottom left to upper right took about 40 minutes and covers about three quarters of a degree of sky (which is 50 per cent larger than the Moon).
Movement could be detected though in just a few seconds
It was just a little bit scary that this thing was so close (only weighing in at a modest 600 million tonnes or so...)
