Adios, 2003 YN107

June 11, 2006 Paul Raven

The Earth is about to lose a friend it has been close to for nearly seven years. The asteroid 2003 YN107 has been ‘corkscrewing’ around the planet since 1999, but was only discovered in 2003 (and only mentioned publicly last week). Now it’s off into interplanetary space again, but should return in about 60 years for more tag-along action.
