Hi All,
Newly discovered 2010 WA will come within 33,000 km of the earth's
surface in about 6 hours. Close approach is at around 45 degrees
north latitude, so it will not come particularly close to any
geosynchronous satellites. --Rob
Thanks Rob.
I just nabbed it a short time ago as it races down towards the northeast horizon
here at G96 and is now past my northern limit.
It appears to be a little "fast" compared to the MPC's ephemeris, so anyone
trying for it look for it ahead of the predicted location.
