McNaught and his colleagues using the 0.5-meter Uppsala Southern Schmidt Telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, just four days before its closest approach to Earth.http://www.space.com/16131-huge-asteroid-flyby-2012-lz1-webcast.html 13 June 2012 Huge Asteroid to Fly by Earth Thursday: How to Watch Online Space.com 2012-06-14Wall Mike http://www.nbcnews.com/id/47805799 Huge asteroid to fly by Earth Thursday Technology & science Space Space.com NBC News 2012-05-20 2012-06-14August 2024 medicmedic Overview Arecibo radar observations on 19 June 2012 have shown that 2012 LZ 1 is about 1 km in diameter and that 2012 LZ 1 has zero chance of impacting the Earth for at least the next 750 years. A small change of trajectory caused by Earth's gravity was predicted from the 2012 passby. The Slooh Space Camera streamed live footage of the passby over the Internet. McNaught and Astronomy magazine columnist Bob Berman hosted the broadcast. "We love it when stuff like this happens, because it's fun to do and the public appreciates it", said Slooh president Patrick Paolucci. The asteroid was the same brightness as a 13th-magnitude star, too faint to be seen by the naked eye or a low-end telescope.Large Asteroid to Buzz Earth Tonight—Watch It Live Ker Than National Geographic 2012-06-14 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/06/120614-asteroid-earth-planet-close-watch-online-space-science/ https://web.archive.org/web/20120617031130/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/06/120614-asteroid-earth-planet-close-watch-online-space-science dead 17 June 2012 2012-06-14 The next passby for 2012 LZ 1 was 27 July 2016 at 0.5 AU km mi on off from Earth.2012 LZ1 Ephemerides for July 2016 NEODyS (Near Earth Objects Dynamic Site) https://newton.spacedys.com/neodys/index.php?pc=1.1.3.1&n=2012LZ1&oc=500&y0=2016&m0=7&d0=15&h0=0&mi0=0&y1=2016&m1=8&d1=15&h1=0&mi1=0&ti=1.0&tiu=days 2012-06-15 See also 2005 YU55, a near-Earth asteroid roughly half the size.
