Asteroid 2020 SW Close Approach Time Lapse
Astronomy Live
Music: The Divine Cosmos by Stellardrone Through intermittent clouds, I was able to capture these images of asteroid 2020 SW approaching earth closer than our own geostationary satellites. This was tracked using NEOTraker based on the orbital elements at the start of the time lapse. The asteroid gradually drifts out of view due to Earth's gravity perturbing its orbit!
