Dear Lance ... Thanks for pointing our attention to this object. Yesterday, we managed to image this asteroid remotely from New Mexico RAS Observatory (H06). ...
... Maybe not April's fool, but fool, or foolish for sure. 5 days arc, -4 Palermo scale, which means yet another of these false alarms you are familiar with....
... By what strange math does 0 = 0.01? Impossible = 0 percent /= 100.00 - 99.99 percent = 0.01 percent...

This is the point that the mathematicians don't understand. It is mathematically correct to write that there is such a non zero probability of impact. It is...

... There are currently 45 astrometric observations on NeoDys at present ending Sep 30.377. I have just reported a further 6 positions for 2008SV11 observed at...
... I'm afraid we disagree. I strenuously object to the idea of censoring our scientific exchanges for fear that the public may be listening. Should NIH web...
... I am not sure where you see censorship anywhere in this. It has as far as I can tell just been a line of opinions about possible impactors being the ...
More astrometry of 2008 SV11 discovered on September 25, now in, shows that this object will probably reach V=13.0 next April 1-2, missing the Earth by about...
Due to the very short observation arc and an approach to Venus of 0.056 AU (0.45-0.71 AU) on 28 February, the orbit and the approach distance to Earth of 2008...
With the use of the OrbFit software and using multiple solution for 3-sigmas I have computed that in the end of March, 2009 the magnitude of asteroid 2008SV11...
Hi folks, It looks as if Mt. Lemmon has found the first object (currently on NEOCP) with a near certainty of hitting the earth. It won't be anything more than...
... Why do the NEOCP ephems going past Oct. 7, 2 UT remind me of the "sprites" on C64, which left the screen on one side just to come in on the other. I...
Too bad that we (D35) are now affected by a Tropical Depression :-( Or it would be very interesting on helping refining the orbit... ... That's possible ;-) Be...
Folks, (CC to MPC) ... After the NEOCP has been updated, first with astrometry from D90 and later with astrometry from E12 (at Oct. 6.67 UT), this new data is...
Hey Reiner, Fortunately, I captured the missing data too. Using Find_Orb, I've tried a variety of solutions using the topocentric ephemerides and noting the...
Today the object with the provisional designation 8TA9D69 was submitted to impact monitoring by using the normal software of the NEODyS system, by using the...
