[Edwin Goffin's Prediction + Finder Charts]

[Detailed Finder Charts]


Updated:   2022 OCT 16, 23:12 UT

Event Rank : 97

(The event Rank is a measure of the likelihood of observing an event, and is equal to the probability of at least one successful observation by a team of two observers spaced 1/8 path width just inside opposite sides of the predicted path. An event rank of 100 indicates that the prediction is expected to be very accurate).


THE UPDATED PATH

Note: The duration given in the line below is the interval during which the occultation shadow sweeps across the Earth - please see the minute markers on the map to determine the approximate time for your location.

Phocaea Update Map


On 2022 Nov 10 UT, the 72.3 km diameter asteroid (25) Phocaea will occult a 12.4 mag star in the constellation Hydra for observers along a path across the South Island of New Zealand from Karamea to Oamaru, including much of the south-eastern coast from Christchurch to Dunedin, in early morning twilight.

In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 1.34 mag to 13.39 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 5.120 seconds.

This update is based on, astrometry for the asteroid kindly provided by the IAU Minor Planet Center.

This work has made use of data from the European Space Agency (ESA)mission Gaia (http://www.cosmos.esa.int/gaia), processed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC, http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/dpac/consortium).
