[meteorite-list] Asteroid 2014 DX110 Will Safely Pass Closer Than Moon on March 5
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-068 Asteroid Will Safely Pass Closer Than Moon Wednesday Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 04, 2014 As happens about 20 times a year with current detection capabilities, a known asteroid will safely pass Earth Wednesday closer than the distance from Earth to the moon. This asteroid, 2014 DX110, is estimated to be about 100 feet (30 meters) across. Its closest approach to Earth will be at about 217,000 miles (about 350,000 kilometers) from Earth at about 1 p.m. PST (4 p.m. EST) on March 5. The average distance between Earth and its moon is about 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers). NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called Spaceguard, discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them and identifies their close approaches to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Near-Earth Object Program Office for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. More information about asteroids and near-Earth objects is at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroidwatch.

[meteorite-list] 'Tiny' Asteroid to Give Us a Close Shave Today (2014 DX110 AND 2014 EC)
http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2014/03/05/asteroid_2014_dx110_tiny_rock_will_pass_the_earth_today.html 'Tiny' Asteroid to Give Us a Close Shave Today By Phil Plait March 5, 2014 The near-Earth asteroid 2014 DX110 will pass closer than the Moon today. You can see it marked in the picture just below center and to the right. [Image] Photo by Gianluca Masi, Virtual Telescope Project. Used by permission [Note the update at the bottom of this post about a second asteroid that will pass us today.] At about 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. Eastern time) today, the 25-30 meter-wide asteroid 2014 DX110 will pass just 350,000 km from the Earth - closer than the Moon! [Graphic] An orbital diagram for the asteroid shows it passing so close the labels for it and Earth overlap. Space is big - that's why it's called space - so in fact it will miss us by a decent margin. diagram by NASA / JPL We're in no danger from this rock on this go-round, which is nice; it's somewhat bigger than the one that exploded over Russia in 2013 so I prefer it keeps its distance. But you can watch the pass live using the Virtual Telescope Project, an observatory that will follow the asteroid and send images out on the web. The picture at the top of this post was taken yesterday, Mar. 4, 2014, when DX110 was still about 1.5 million km (900,000 miles) from Earth. It's far too faint to see with the unaided eye even during this close encounter, so your best chance is to see it online. You should know that rocks this size pass close to the Earth fairly often, but rarely hit us - a circle 350,000 km in radius has 3,000 times the area of the Earth! So we're a pretty small target as things go. Averaged over time, a 25 meter asteroid is expected to hit us very roughly every 50 years or so, and would generally do so over the ocean and uninhabited territory. But rocks this size do hit us and eventually one will if we don't do anything about it. That's why it's something we should be aware of and working on. [UPDATE (Mar. 5, 2014 at 17:00 UTC): An asteroid called 2014 EC that was discovered only last night will pass the Earth just after midnight UTC tonight, sliding past us at a distance of just 56,000 km (35,000 miles) above Earth's surface! This rock is roughly 10 meters across - half the diameter of the Chelyabinsk asteroid. A miss is as good as a mile, as they say, but it shows that there are lots of these things passing us all the time. There's aren't more now than there were; we're just getting better at finding them. Thanks to Ron Baalke for the alert.] [UPDATE 2 (Mar. 5, 2014 at 17:05 UTC): ...and no sooner do I write the above update that I find out that 2014 EC has a very, very tiny chance of hitting the Earth in 2025. I do mean tiny: the chance is only about 1 in 2.7 million. Almost certainly, as more observations of this small rock are made, the chance of an impact will drop even farther; I explain how this works in an earlier post. No need to panic over this one.] __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
