Asteroid 2012 DA14 Can Be Viewed Online, What You Need To Know About Fridays Flyby, Video

Thursday, February 14, 2013 18:52

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The long-awaited flyby of the massive asteroid 2012 DA14 on Friday morning won’t be visible overhead in California, due to bright sunlight.

Commentary, real-time imagery and a telescopic view of the asteroid can all be seen online.

A half-hour commentary broadcast from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena will be available online starting at 11 a.m. PST via NASA TV and streamed live online athttp://www.nasa.gov/ntv and http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2.

Near real-time imagery of the asteroid’s flyby before and after its closest approach — made available to NASA by astronomers in the dark skies of Australia

and Europe, weather permitting — will be streamed beginning about 9 a.m. PST and continuing through the afternoon at this website: http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2.

A Ustream feed of the flyby from a telescope at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., will be streamed for three hours starting at 6 p.m. PST. To view the feed and ask researchers questions about the flyby via Twitter, visit: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasa-msfc.

It will be the nearest recorded brush with a such a large space rock, which is estimated to be the size of a 15-story office building.

Satellite operators are monitoring the asteroid but it is expected to miss the belt of satellites that are 23,000 miles up.

There is no chance of impact with Earth — at its closest, it will pass about 17,000 miles above us. Based on a statistical analysis, NASA researchers have found that asteroids like 2012 DA14 only graze Earth this closely once every 40 years or so. Similar asteroids can actually hit the Earth once every 1,200 years.
