asteroid / event / free / near Earth
On 2 Mar. 2013, asteroid 2013 EC was discovered by the Mt. Lemmon survey and it showed an orbit bringing it quite close to the Earth. On March 4, it will reach a minimum...
Tonight, asteroid 2013 EC will reach a minimum distance from the Earth of about 380.000 km, almost the distance of the Moon. We offer a free, last minute live session on www.astrowebtv.org. The session...
The waiting is almost over. After more than one year of promises and hopes for a great show, comet C/2011 Pan-STARRS is ready to jump in the northern skies. Since it was discovered...

asteroid / event / near Earth
Last night, asteroid 2012 DA14 did its exceptional close passage, reaching on 15 Feb. at 19:25 UT a minimum distance of about 27500 km from the surface of our planet. The Virtual Telescope planned...
While the world is waiting for asteroid 2012 DA14 later today, something spectacular happened in Russia a few hours ago (about 15 Feb. 2013, 03:30UT), above the city of Chelyabinsk. A very bright fireball...
Recently, the Celestron C14 robotic unit has been equipped with a SA100 diffraction grating, making possible easy, low-res spectroscopy. After a couple of successful tests, we managed to measure the red-shift of quasar 3C...

Questa carta mostra il percorso nel cielo dell’asteroide 2012 DA14 la sera del 15 Febbraio, così come visibile da Milano, Roma e Palermo. Le posizioni sono state accuratamente calcolate tenendo conto degli effetti dell’attrazione...
The Virtual Telescope observed Nova Cep 2013 recently and, in addition to ordinary imaging, we performed low-res spectroscopy, remotely using the Celestron C14 robotic unit, equipped with a 100 lines/mm grating. Spectroscopy was very...
Last 2 Feb. 2013, K.Nishiyama and F. Kabashima (Japan) reported the discovery of a possible nova in Cepheus. This star is well located in the sky for northern observers at the beginning of the night....
During the tests performed these last nights at the Virtual Telescope while fine tuning the new software recently installed, we were lucky enough to serendipitously capture a nova (not a supernova) candidate in Messier...
