UM-Bot Posted August 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2005 During the early morning hours of April 13, 2029, observers in Asia and North Africa will have a chance to witness a rare celestial event as an asteroid, 99942 Apophis, passes within 20,000 miles of Earth. "It's not gonna knock your socks off, and it certainly won't be the brightest object in the sky, but it'll be easily observable with the naked eye," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near Earth Object (NEO) Program.

ROGER Posted August 24, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2005 By 2029 we should have a start of a base on the Moon. So maybe observations can be made from there. If not I am hoping the ISS is still in use ( or hopefully expanded) so as to get a few good pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiddlyjen Posted August 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 27, 2005 That'd be awesome to witness, the last time I saw anything meteor related was that meteor shower that broke up in the atmosphere and went spreading across our melbournian skies i think it was in 1999 or 98?, god it was beautiful though, im never going to forget that all of the meteorites had beautiful mutli-coloured tails... *runs off to find internet pictures* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
