António Cidadão's Practical Advice for
Astrophotography & CCD Imaging


As of June 30 2007
there are 874 known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids

 

Listed below are some of the near-earth environment events due to happen in 2007
Many of them will be naked-eye visible, but some may require strong binoculars
or even backyard telescopes to fully appreciate the celestial event

These will be supplemented with news and new discoveries as they arise
