[Chaos-l] Cool Video of 2012 DA14

[Robert Nielsen]

For those of you interested in the asteroid that buzzed us last Friday ... the Astronomy Picture of the Day web site (http://apod.nasa.gov) has an excellent video of it, taken from the Canary Islands.   Because of the way they tracked the asteroid (rather than background stars) and the width of the field, it's the only video that gives you the feeling of watching an actual rock flying past us ... getting dimmer as if flies away.   Really excellent!
