Close encounter of the asteroid kind today (Flying between GOES satellites and Earth)
Posted by JAC on 2/4/2011, 3:01 pm
A small (4-5 meter) asteroid discovered earlier today by R. A. Kowalski of the Catalina Sky Survey will pass by Earth on Feb. 4th around 19:40UT at a distance of 11855 km. 2011 CQ1 will not hit Earth, but it will pass well inside the Clarke Belt of geosynchronous satellites
