Live Telescope Stream Covering the YU55 FLYBY - - SLOOH Observatory-- Check This at 15:55 glptime

one hour and 15 minutes...don't worry people.
no danger for earth!
thats not sarcasm!

slooh is in canary islands right?, or is there in another place?. ^^

I thought the GLP telescope was up and running again? Why isn't there a GLP live feed of this event? Would have been nice.

No, it will not be visible naked eye.

Didn't Trin say Astromut was doing a live broadcast of YU55?

it is??/ hmm never heard that before.

so if they are starting the broadcast at 15.55 what time is the actual passing...

Erm..

"Membership supports live celestial programming for the world to enjoy. Join today!"

The second fly-by refers to YU55 passing the Moon. From the JPL Small-Body Database Browser:

11/8/11 at 23:28 GMT (6:28 PM EST, 3:28 PM PST) YU55 passes the Earth.

11/9/11 at 07:14 GMT (2:14 AM EST, 11:14 PM PST on 11/8) YU55 passes the Moon.

Took awhile to load, but check it out yourself:

and for Apollo?

Wait, so they're only broadcasting it to members? I thought they were letting anyone watch since it was a special event. Well, in any case I doubt they'd be showing as many frames per second as I'm going to try to show tonight. My hope is that I can detect it at 64x integration, in which case you'll see 1 frame per second. Slooh is usually several minutes per frame.

I will, provided the weather holds. Have some clouds now, but I should be able to work around them as long as it doesn't get worse.

Man it sure does look like YU55 is going to hit us..

Great find OP. I have just downloaded their android app, as I will be away from my 'puter, but will have my trusty phone with me so I can still watch the fly by.

If anyone else wants their app just search the market for slooh space camera.

actually there are quite a lot coming behind it, just not anywhere as close.

Cool, thanks. I'll cross my fingers.

will you be setting up another thread Astro? or should we look in this one?

UFO abducts man and tells him of future asteroid hitting earth causing global chaos

I'll be making a new thread. Trin says he'll pin it.

LOL, now playing:

Astronomer Bob Berman hosts SLOOH's live video feed of NASA's 10/09/09 Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS ) impacts of the Moon's surface in the search for water on the Moon.

Gave me the chills

I have to work this evening and will completely miss it. Will someone on here be recording the event?

33 minutes and counting! Thanks for the link OP! Pretty Cool!

Now, the question is... do we believe this little show they are going to present? LOL

28 min right?

good stuff, thanks :)

It's now dark here. Maybe an incoming asteroid can bring some light

according to Slooh count down is now 27 mins away



you would think this site would post this for free instead of out to make a buck!

you better hurry up its due soon...

It's not due till 7:30pm eastern (and even then we'll watch it for much longer than that). The countdown thingy on Slooh is just until they start their observing session; their primary scope is in the canary islands, so it gets dark there before it gets dark in the states.

We can only hope the scope is not on El Hierro, lol.
