What is the link for that Orbit applet? Thanks in advance.

Here is the link:
neo.jpl.nasa.gov...

Just put the Object Number, Designation, or Name and press search. Wait for the applet to load and you will see the objects orbit.

I am still lost as to exactly which day 2004 MR1 was "discovered". I spend a lot of time on the neo.jpl.nasa.gov... site tracking which NEO and PHAs are posted there. However when I did this last week there was no mention of 2004 MR1. This unnerves me as well as the fact that I can't find any mention of this rather close call in any media release or in the media itself.

Does anybody have any listings in the media or nasa release on its discovery?

Here's an image I saved for those who are curious:

[Edit]: Wrong nea. That was for 1998 SF36, a 450m - 1km sized asteroid. It caught my eye due to its size. That link was: neo.jpl.nasa.gov...


Here's the right one:

neo.jpl.nasa.gov...


Let me know if it disappears and I'll move it elsewhere -- I left it on the JPL site for now.

If you look here you'll see recent and upcoming approaches. 2004 MS1 was earlier this month.

neo.jpl.nasa.gov...

I could not find this link mentioned in this thread, you can find all these NEO:s (2004 MR1, 2004 MS1 etc.) here:

Scroll down and you will find "Small object observation summary for 14-20 June".
