Close Approach of 2022 VL1 - PMSchu - 2022-11-13
CNEOS predicts that the newly discovered NEO 2022 VL1 will make a close approach on 2022-Nov-13 16:22 ± < 00:01 UT at a distance of 0.00303 AU. H=26.8 magnitude, V relative=8.70 km/sec, 'Rarity' = 0, Condition Code = 7. This MP was discovered at ATLAS-MLO, Mauna Loa on 2022-11-11.
Using MPC's elements for November 13, 2022 00:00 UT, ST4v predicts that this MP will reach a peak brightness of 15.4 magnitude on November 13 at 05:00 EST when the NEO will be moving through Eridanus at 195.3"/min at 495.3k km distance. This is a southern hemisphere object. This may be too late to catch it as it fades rapidly.
Good hunting.
