It passed only 130,000 km above the surface of Earth last week.

Well, it did flit by the Earth at a distance of only about 0.0009 au (0.4 lunar distance) on the 18th.

Sigh. Would be nice if Symaski for once could actually SAY that (even in french), rather than do his standard equivalent of quoting and armwaving and smileymaking and forcing the reader to guess what he could be going on about this time.

As it is, I went to the site and the java window didn't work for me, so I couldn't see anything obvious about it. I gathered from the ssc info that it was a near-earth asteroid, but that's about it.

His Web reference just provided the orbital parameters, which really don't make it obvious that it was such a very close flyby. I had to search the NEO site for that info.

I'll post here a repaired version of Symaski's "cel://url" link with the all-important "%20's" where spaces between words are meant to go.

... but Sym', what it's difficult to understand your posts! :-) (This one was better understandable than other ones: thanks!) And like it was said to you, don't hesitate to develop your message in French if you do not find the English words, some ones here can help with the translation!
Cheers, Jeam
