Eros Parallax Project Begins!
Join the project
Tonight many amateur astronomers and school classes are eagerly awaiting the asteroid Eros, now at its closest to Earth. From January 28 to February 3 they will take an image of Eros either through a telescope or with a telephoto lens. Photographs of Eros submitted by amateur astronomers around the world will show slight differences in the asteroid’s position due to parallax. Along with each observer’s location, this parallax information will be used to find a precise distance to Eros, just like professional astronomers did in January 1931. |
