We missed another fast mover on the evening of 24 Oct 2021 @2300 EDT. 2021 UA1 was calculated to be moving at 2.95°/sec through Cepheus. Here's a chart in the IA: [attachment=2083]
It's moving so fast that ST4 had to include the time to the second on the tick marks & the whole text string didn't fit on the label
. What's shown as 2h should be 22h. Minimum Re was 11.1k km.
The osculating elements were downloaded from the MPC's NEAs at Today's Epoch using ST4v on Oct 26.
Talk about a close shave.
