@tchapacan.bsky.socialA rock the size of the Eiffel Tower is zooming past us today! 2001 SH276 is currently our biggest visitor, cruising through the void at a blistering 38,718 km/h. It’s safely tucked away at over 54 times the distance to the Moon. Space is wild. ☄️

@tchapacan.bsky.socialA 20-meter rock is zipping past us at over 45,000 km/h today. It’s roughly the size of a bowling alley and is staying a safe 122 times the Moon's distance away. Space is crowded, but we've got plenty of elbow room out here. ☄️
@tchapacan.bsky.socialSpace rock 2019 SW5 is cruising past us today at a staggering 61,874 km/h. That’s fast enough to cross the continental U.S. in minutes! Even though it’s about the size of a leaning tower of Pisa, it’ll stay a safe 40 times further away than the Moon ☄️
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialNext asteroid close approach: 2026 TD on 2026-Oct-02, skimming 1.7 lunar distances from Earth—650,110 km away. 🚀 Zooming past at 11.3 km/s, it’s a cosmic near miss, no threat, just awe.

@orbitalradar.bsky.socialNext asteroid close approach: 2019 AS2 on 2026-Oct-02, cruising by at 4.5 lunar distances—1,720,503 km from Earth. 🌌
At 7.3 km/s, it's a cosmic neighborly visit!

@tchapacan.bsky.socialAsteroid 2013 HO11 is buzzing past at 27,000 km/h today, sitting about 25 times the distance to the Moon. At up to 475 feet long, it’s basically a flying skyscraper zooming through the void. Just one of five space rocks passing us by today ☄️
@tchapacan.bsky.socialA space rock the size of a massive cruise ship is zipping past us today at over 67,000 km/h. Don't worry, 2010 MR87 is keeping its distance, staying about 74 times farther away than our Moon. Just another busy Thursday in our cosmic neighborhood ☄️
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialNext asteroid on our radar: 2026 SB12 approaches Earth on Sep 30, 2026, at 10.1 lunar distances. 🎯 That's 3,888,053 km away, zipping past at 10.3 km/s.

@plucas.bsky.socialJust another illustration of how anti-vaxxers as always full of BS. And I'm sure if you showed one of them this, they'd conclude that asteroids cause autism.
@tchapacan.bsky.socialA space rock the size of a football stadium is cruising past us today. While 2002 PN6 is the biggest of the bunch, it’s hanging out well beyond the Moon. Meanwhile, a smaller, speedier visitor is zipping by at 5x the lunar distance. Space stays busy out there. ☄️
@ccaf595.bsky.socialNEO follow-up: Aten asteroid 2026 SP12 confirmed at mag 19.5 by our 0.61-m telescope.
Closest approach: Sep 19, 15:28 UT
Distance: 4.8 million km !
Estimated size: 16-37 m
@tchapacan.bsky.socialA space rock as tall as the Eiffel Tower is cruising past us today at 21 times the distance to the Moon. It’s the biggest of the four asteroids visiting our neighborhood, traveling at a breezy 36,822 km/h. Space is certainly feeling a bit crowded today. ☄️
@verified-gud-boi.bsky.socialDrawing Prompt 4/300: Asteroids
Finished this beauty few days back. Done in pens.
@hydezero-message.bsky.socialPaid guide to Atira: work through slit losses, absorption baselines, error propagation and future observations. Teaching examples: band depth is not water content, and surface-to-interior inference needs assumptions.
