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.

Thanks again Ocelot.

Right now at this very moment theres a kid who took his fathers SACER for a joy ride painting EARTH EARTH all over a astroid so we know for a fact theres a rock out there with earths name writen all over it.

2004 MR1 2004-Jun-21 20:36 00:04 1.5/0.0038 1.47/0.00377

The time on nasa site, it is gmt or eastern time zone?

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.

Makes you feel real safe, that the number of people tracking Near Earth Objects wouldn't be enough to staff a McDonalds....hmm???

Your thoughts

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

Hey and welcome here - you will have noticed that MS1 came and went - it was 7 Lunar distances away. which is quite a distance away and fairly small. This one is also fairly small but only 1 and a half lunar distances away and just appeared out of nowhere on the NEO charts.

welcome again. Enjoy.

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".

I almost gave myself a panic attack. Thanks for the replies I now understand how to read these. Carry on...

When exactly is this supposed to pass us by? Did we ever figure out the time frame? Was it GMT?

If it lands on my head it was nice knowing you. If it lands on yours can I have your stuff?
