Eldorado Posted February 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2019 "First observed in 1964, 4388 Jürgenstock is a 3.1-mile-wide (5 kilometer) asteroid from the asteroid belt that completes an orbit around the sun every three years and seven months. This year, as part of its orbit, it will glide directly in front of Sirius for an estimated 0.2 seconds, though Sirius' full brilliance will take 1.8 seconds to recover."
