Near-Earth Asteroid 2014 EY24: an image (12 Mar. 2014)
On 18 Mar. 2014, the near-Earth asteroid 2014 EY24 will be at 3.2 millions of km from the Earth. It will be a nice chance to detect this 70-meters large body in the sky. Of course, there are absolutely no risks at all for us.
Above is the average of 4, 180-seconds exposures, remotely taken with the Planewave 17 robotic unit; the telescope tracked the target at its apparent motion, so stars are showing as trails, while 2014 EY24 is a sharp dot in the center of the image.
