• Photograph of Minor Planet 2002 NY40 taken on August 15 Minor Planet 2002 NY40 is approaching. This photo was taken by Geisei's 60cm reflector with a 20-minute exposure. The magnitude was 11 and it was moving fast. This reminds me of the trail of Icarus, which was first discovered by Palomar's Schmidt camera. |
