asteroid tonight

goto http://www.heavens-above.com
and get a skychart for tonight around 11 (early morning tomorrow for you europeans)

then goto http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/0...ter/index.html
and align the map it has with your map and you have a map of the path of the asteroid '2002 NY40'

yay :)

4am...bugger!

I saw it!!!!!!!!!

It was a very bright light that corssed the horizon in about a minute (fastest space-object ive ever seen). And it followed the exact path that I thought it would after matching the cnn map and heavens above map

People in the USA probably missed it if you havent seen it, as I'm a couple miles from the coast and it already passed.

Its luck that I saw it as I was planning on going out around 10 to look for it, but someone called me down the street to give her my history book, and on the way there I was looking where I thought it would be, and there it was! Perfect luck :)

Thats gotta be the coolest space-thing ive seen, next to the shuttle launching and feeling the vibrations in the ground....

Coolness Itself..... :)
