[LVAS] Asteroid Viewing

[ThommKatt69 at aol.com]

February 9 - Asteroid 2009 UN3 Close Approach. This asteroid is just  under 
a kilometer in size and will pass within 14.5 times the distance from the  
Earth to the Moon. is should be visible in moderate or larger size 
telescopes  near the border of the constellations Lepus and Columba. It will be a 
little  easier to see in the southern hemisphere, where it will have an 
apparent  movement of 50 arc seconds per minute, nearly fast enough to see the 
movement in  the telescope.
