Orbit@Home: Asteroid 2011 MD
The little asteroid 2011 MD, about 10 meters in diameter, will fly by the earth on Jun 27. We have posted here some animations showing the geometry of this encounter. It is interesting to note that it will come closer than the GPS satellites, and also that it comes from the norther hemisphere, passes over the Earth's south pole, and then is deflected so strongly that leaves the Earth back in the northern hemisphere.
