Flying Rocks!
Four stacked 60-second images taken over the course of 80 minutes on 2001
December 22 from my driveway inside the D.C. beltway capture two asteroids
cruising through the constellation of Perseus. Asteroid 973 Aralia (right side
of image) is about magnitude 14.4, while asteroid 1677 Tycho Brahe (left side
of image) is about magnitude 16.3. For more on imaging asteroids, check out
the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center
