And what have near earth asteroids got to do with auroras anyway! :-) |

I guess the only thing that is slightly different about this PHA (Potentialy Hazardous Asteroid) is it's size at 2km, most others are just few tens or hundreds of metres across. But it's only one of 842 known PHAs. Scroll down to the bottom of: http://www.spaceweather.com/ For a list of forthcoming "close" encounters. It's currently fairly empty quite often there are half a dozen or more listed. 2006 VV2 come with 8.8 Lunar Distances according to that. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

I thought the OP were referring to the close call that the comet projected in the link was going have with earth. It doesn't come as close in 2070 as it does in 2007. |
