No images/video after more than 24 hours. I guess it means none took any shot of the event?

Other than the webcam images in the German forum and this press article, nothing special I'm afraid...

Nice! I was hoping some satellite would catch it or at least the infrared afterglow.

QUOTE (jumpjack @ Oct 9 2008, 02:04 PM)  Another incoming?!? Errr, NO. Very no. "008 QS11 (classified as an Apollo-type NEO) will reach on 02 October 2008 the minimum distance from Earth (0.02767 A.U.) " That's about 4 million km, or 10 times the earth-moon distance. |

Full inline quote removed - Admin
according to an italian forum, MAYBE a page appeared on NASA site predicting a 1:79 chance to hit Earth (or enter atmosphere??), but page would be no more visible... But actually I think somebody thaught that "REMOVED" from risk list means "HIDDEN", although it means "NO MORE RISKFUL"... |
