Radar Astrometry on 28 April '20
Radar observation of one object
The JPL Solar System Dynamics Group Radar Astrometry database has added or updated the following small-body radar observing work:
Data update noted at 1900 UTC when the database was dated 28 April
- 2020 HJ6 (close passer) from Arecibo (April 28.16 velocity & 28.17 range)
Photometry and some astrometry is needed for upcoming radar targets. See Arecibo and Goldstone schedules.
NEOCP Activity on 28 April '20
The MPC's NEO Confirmation Page has 114 listings
When last checked at 2358 UTC today, the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object discovery Confirmation Page (NEOCP) had 114 objects listed. Of these, 79 were "one nighters." So far The Tracking News has counted a total of 150 listings on the NEOCP today.

An impact solution, also known as a "virtual impactor" (VI), is not a prediction but rather a possibility derived from a variant orbit calculation that cannot be eliminated yet based on the existing data. Elimination can come quickly with just a little further observation or may take weeks or months, sometimes years. Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk. See Jon Giorgini's "Understanding Risk Pages" to learn more.
