Spooky Asteroid

[Anthonyw85]

Hi guys, anyone found any maps as pointers to find this asteroid as my apps are not listing it and Stellaium won't run on my outdated Mac.

From the UK, thanks in advance.

Brilliant many thanks.

No chance of seeing it here. Total cloud cover.

No worries. Forecast is pretty good here for early hours, so may get up for the planets and add this to list. Orion should have risen pretty high by about 4am

Apparently you can watch it fly by live here

Apropro Dept:

The "Halloween Asteroid" that went by/will go by Earth seems to resemble a skull. Image below taken through Arecibo Radio-Telescope it seems. Here's a link:

There are quite a few other news-reports saying similar. Creative Googling (soon to be a new word) will find them.

'Ta,

Dave

Mist, fog and haze prevented me from spotting it. Nice picture from Arecibo. It does look a bit spooky. Cue end of world nutters and conspiracy theorists ....
