Re: (meteorobs) 1988 eg. looking for asteroid.
Hi Nico:
Two asteroids will be making a near Earth flyby on Saturday Feb 28th, 1998
- [1988 EG and 1998 CS1] both at about .03 AU's. 1998 BY7 came even closer
on Feb 21st,1998 (.028 AU).
Steven Ostro, I hear, will be taking this opportunity to use the new
Upgraded Arecibo Telescope to study these flyby's.
1998 CS1 MPEC is on http://cfa-www.harvarddot edu/mpec/J98/J98C27.html
Arecibo announcement by Steve Ostro is on
