Anonymous Coward User ID: 1257093 United States 10/25/2011 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Comet Levy is now again listed as a NEO by NASA. Quoting: gdwk 1405311 It will come closer to the earth than Elenin. However it will still be 17.8M Miles away. Asteroid YU55 will pass earth at 0.8 Lunar Distances which is 192,000 miles from Earth. Astrnomers are excited about viewing a 400 Meter asteroid that close. Both will be non-events. No Doom here. yes, it is above the earth's eliptic plane---it will be closer to the moon---worth watching for certain...thanks for the reminder..November 9th as i recall studying the orbital path...is the big day to watch. |
