we've just been whizzed past by a small 6m asteriod doing just over 14,000kmh.
asteroids or any heavenly body flying past don't normally come this close.
it passed us by 38,000km or .1% of the distance from the moon.
I'm surprised amateur astrophotographers don't try to get a photo.
If I'd put my colander on my head I may have sensed it going past.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

what happened in Japan?

Not sure, I only got the end of the news article but it was an unusually bright light show. Many thought UFO.

SupporterWhat did look like a UFO the other night, was a string of more than a dozen, maybe twenty satellites following each other, I believe it is testing for one of the GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) companies trying to make the web accessible internationally.Originally Posted by V8Ian

Probably Starlink - they launched another sixty satellites a week or two ago. These tend to appear like that as they are manoeuvred into position.
