Latest Images of Asteroid 2005 YU55 NASA, Live Web Cast of The Flyby

It's not mach better from old one ..

But some be interested in this new images and info ..

The Slooh telescope will be hosting a live webcast of the flyby on Nov. 8, 2011 ..

events.slooh.com...

Some good info here and how to find 2005 YU55 in sky, if you have some equipment ..

www.abovetopsecret.com...

"Since the gibbous moon will interfere with the viewing, amateur observers trying to visually locate the asteroid will require a telescope with an aperture of 6 inches (15 centimeters) or larger."

If you don't mind I say some simply words how to find, for some amateurs like my what have stronger binoculars o0nly ..

From 'center' of our galaxy or Ophiuchus in line to moon and Jupiter they be very close and most brightest lights in sky, before down is best time here Europe UTC ..

If some have better explanation info or images explanation please post ..

PASADENA -- NASA's Deep Space Network antenna in Goldstone, Calif. has captured new radar images of Asteroid 2005 YU55 passing close to Earth. The asteroid safely will fly past our planet slightly closer than the moon's orbit on Nov. 8. The last time a space rock this large came as close to Earth was in 1976, although astronomers did not know about the flyby at the time.

The next known approach of an asteroid this size will be in 2028. The image was taken on Nov. 7 at 11:45 a.m. PST, when the asteroid was approximately 860,000 miles (1.38 million kilometers) away from Earth. Tracking of the aircraft carrier-sized asteroid began at Goldstone at 9:30 a.m. PDT on Nov. 4 with the 230-foot-wide (70-meter) antenna and lasted about two hours, with an additional four hours of tracking planned each day from Nov. 6 - 10.

This one really looks quality, o0 ..

Asteroid 2005 YU55 Nov. 6, 2011 Radar Image

This radar image of asteroid 2005 YU55 was obtained on Nov. 6, 2011, at 1:45 p.m. PST (4:45 p.m. EST/2145 UTC), when the space rock was at 6.4 lunar distances, which is about 1.5 million miles, or 2.46 million kilometers, from Earth.

Peace ..

Been looking for this, thanks.

Yes apparently they used the latest tech..

Top secret infrared telescope in Hawaii .. impressive piece of equipment

So someone at NASA scanned their thumb and posted it as the latest YU55 image?

Impressive image ..I was sad to hear it would be invisible to the naked eye, it's good to see we have some high tech eyes on this object.. though I'm anxious to see it pass so doomsday threads about it stop even though there will be more about other things soon to follow, inevitably..

The asteroid's track past Earth is especially favorable for western Europe and North America. But you'll need to know exactly where and when to look: the object will traverse the 70° of sky eastward across several constellations, from Aquila to Pegasus, in just 10 hours.

At times it will zip among the background stars at 7 arcseconds per second, covering a Moon's width of sky in under 5 minutes. And light from a nearly full Moon will brighten the entire sky somewhat, making faint stars and the asteroid somewhat more difficult to spot.

Best seen from North America, the little asteroid 2005 YU55 will race far across the constellations in just 11 hours on the night of November 8-9, 2011 ..



The path of the asteroid 2005 YU55 is plotted for just over an hour on the evening of November 8th for North America, from 1:51 to 3:12 Universal Time on November 9th

Haha. They have gone high tech with their deceptions!
NASA can shove their thumb where the sun don't shine!
And people still believe their crap...wowzer!

Here's a link to NASA's "Eyes on the Solar System," which is focused on YU-55.

Has a nice view and also could be used as a "count-down" of sorts.

Enjoy!

And I hope it doesn't hit.

Nice words my friend, gl U2 ..

Is very sad what's the world come to ..

Very little % of humanity are billionaires what every day are richer and richer, and that money is "taken" from little man ..

And others side very large % of people want some kind of "doom" or changes because they are so00 mach unhappy and don't have necessities of life ..

What they done to us, to Earth, to nature ..

But let hope all be ok ..

Peace ..

They are out with live web cast, more like radio show .. lo0l

Looks like they start again in 2 h 35 min, hope see some movement there ..

Thanks so much for the links -
I wouldn't want to miss this!

Yes, thank you for the thread. My net is going super slow atm so the vids aren't loading for me.

I wish they had sent the X-37b mini-shuttle to take a couple close-ups.

reply to post by tooo many pills


The X 37-b OTV-2 mission is still up there, due to land Dec. 3rd. But I doubt the 200-so miles closer is going to provide for better images than the radio telescopes in Cali and Puerto Rico.
