Minor Planet Hunters,
ST4.1.11.14 Visual Pro predicts that there are 4 NEOs brighter than 16 magnitude tonight (2024 Nov 20). They are (887) Alinda, 2006 WB and 2010 WC in the northern hemisphere and (66146) 1998 TU3 in Telescopium in the southern hemisphere.
Both (887) Alinda and (66146) 1998 TU3 are kilometer-sized objects and will remain bright for weeks. 2010 WC is already past the predicted peak brightness of 15.3 magnitude on 2024 Nov 20 0000 EST and is fading.
Good hunting,
Phil S.
