The Watchers. duncan124: 2021 JU6 , 2021-May-14, 0.2 LD away and 12m wide. I hope this one on Friday missed. At 12 m wide it seems quite big enough. duncan124: 2021 UA1, 2021-Oct-25, 0 LD away and 2m wide. Spaceweather reports on around the 29th. After SWs fright with the southern auroras after the freezing weather it has been allowed to report a direct hit from a NEO. Perhaps that is also related to the changing weather across the former USA. | Science Chat Room 1 Person Chatting Similar Conversations |
