While waiting for its close approach next 11 Mar., when it will be at 3 millions of km from us, at Virtual Telescope we had a second look at the potentially hazardous asteroid 2014 CU13. The Planewave...
On 12 Feb. 2014, the Minor Planet Center announced the discovery by the Mt Lemmon Survey of the potentially hazardous asteroid 2014 CU13. Looking at the orbit, it was clear that this 180-meters large...

The image above shows the potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) 1995 CR, a few hours its close approach with the Earth. On 21 Feb. 2014, at 11:08 UT, this about 210 meters large body was at...
Above is a plot showing the position and the orbits of potentially hazardous asteroid 1995 CR and near-Earth asteroids 2014 BR57 and 2014 CR, calculated for 20 Feb.2014 at 19:00 UT. All these asteroids...
See this asteroid live with us! Also the near-Earth asteroid 2014 CR is approaching, waiting for us sharing it live in the next few days. The Planewave 17 robotic unit managed to capture it, no...
*** See these near-Earth asteroids live with us! *** Asteroids are truly fascinating objects. They are the leftover of the pristine material dominating the early Solar System, at times when the planets were just...
Next 21 Feb. 2014 at 11:08 UT, the Potentially Hazardous asteroid 1995 CR (recently recovered), with a diameter of about 160 meters, will reach a minimum distance from the Earth of less than 3 millions...
See this asteroid live with us! Together with 2014 BR57, we also observed 2014 CR, scheduled for live observing in the next few days. Again, the Planewave 17 robotic unit managed to capture...

After its first visit, Virtual Telescope’s PlaneWave 17″ robotic unit slewed again to potentially hazardous asteroid 2013 TV135. Despite the still very bright Moon, the asteroid shows well, as clearly visible in the image above....
On 8 Oct. 2013, astronomers working at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in the Ukraine discovered a new potentially hazardous asteroid, now named 2013 TV135. Those first observations showed there was a chance to see...
On 27.9 Aug. 2013, the PlaneWave 17″ robotic unit was remotely asked to do some follow-up of the near-Earth candidate 38OB505, discovered by “La Sagra” survey in Spain and at that time needing of confirmation. It...
On 24 Aug. 2013, the PlaneWave 17″ robotic unit was used to follow potentially hazardous asteroid 2013 QR1, during our online, live feed covering this asteroid. It was a great event and asteroid showed...
