A large asteroid near the earth

Near-Earth Asteroid 2016 QA2 extremely close encounter: an exceptional image and movie (28 Aug. 2016)

On 28 Aug. 2016, at 01:26 UT, the 35 meters large near-Earth asteroid 2016 QA2 made an exceptionally close encounter with our home planet. At the flyby time, the asteroid was at about 84.000 km from the Earth surface! That is 0.22 the average lunar distance, still a safe one.

At Virtual Telescope we managed to cover it around the flyby, getting amazing images.
