Amateur Astronomers Team Up to Measure Distance to a Close-passing Asteroid - Sky & Telescope ...
On the afternoon of December 19, 2021, our team of amateur astronomers in two towns in Italy, Cremona and Salerno, observed the close passage of the near-Earth asteroid 163899 (2003 SD220). Our observations enabled us to calculate its distance using the parallax method.
The parallax of an object is its apparent shift based on the angle from which we've viewing it, in the same way that a finger held close to your eyes appears to move depending on whether you're watching it with your left or right eye.
Space junk on 5,800-mph collision course with moon - ABC News
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The moon is about to get walloped by 3 tons of space junk, a punch that will carve out a crater that could fit several semitractor-trailers.
The leftover rocket will smash into the far side of the moon at 5,800 mph (9,300 kph) on Friday, away from telescopes' prying eyes. It may take weeks, even months, to confirm the impact through satellite images.
