2007 VN84 incoming   Message List

Re: 2007 VN84 incoming

Isn't it Rosetta (not-a-stone)?

2007 VN84 (H=26.3) had a close encounter with Mars in the last decade
of February this year.

Compare the dates and distances with those of Rosetta spacecraft
(http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMC20VOM8F_index_1.html):

Closest approach will take place on 13 November 2007 at 21:57 CET, at
which time Rosetta will speed past at 45 000 km/h (about 12.5 km/s)
relative to Earth. At this time, Rosetta will be 5301km above the
Pacific Ocean, south-west of Chile, at 63° 46' south and 74° 35' west.

I'll be at G96 that night, but I'll be surveying for more objects instead of doing photometry. If anyone gets a light curve, I'd be interested in seeing it. ...

2007 VN84 is significant in that it not only comes closer, it is much bigger, around 20 m in diameter, compared to 2004 FU162 only about 1/3 that size. Based...
