  • Short timelapse of Asteroid "Florence" passing by the Earth - shot at the time of maximum Magnitude (brightness). I captured the Asteroid with my 80mm F5 Apo Telescope and my Canon 6D, exposure times were 30 seconds per frame - I tracked it for about three hours. On Friday it passes by our planet as close as 0.047 AU ~ 7 Mio. Kilometers.
    "3122 Florence" was discovered in 1981 and is classified as a potentially hazardous object due to close intersection with the orbit of the Earth and low brightness - it is almost 5 km in diameter - a colision with Earth would have devastating effects.
