Asteroid-Asteroid Appulses - 2024 February


All dates and times are Universal Time
Positions are geocentric J2000 and include planetary perturbations
The first asteroid in the pair is the brighter of the two
Separations are in arcseconds, Position Angle is from the brighter asteroid to the fainter
Calculations by Brian D. Warner
