Just wondering where on earth the best place to watch for this would be.
Been googling without any luck. Maybe they are unsure? Too soon to tell?
Anyone have any idea?
This might help.
It’s about 3 miles wide and will only get to within about 6 million miles about 27 times as far away as the moon. Any place on Earth will be just about as good as any other as it won’t appear to be moving too much so just wait until you’re spot on Earth is on the correct side. It’a going about as fast (apparently) as a satellite
Of course you won’t see anything at all with the naked eye. It won’t have a tail like a comet. It will be about 10th magnitude.
elbows: you can go to this page, input your location, and generate an ephemeris. Don’t forget that telescope.
I skimmed the GQ thread titles and thought “What’s this about a '32 Phaeton being sent into orbit?”
