NEO Asteroids Update Again Late SEP2012

NEO Asteroids Update Again Late SEP2012
Near Earth Objects, asteroids (2012 SY49) and (2012 SJ32) , are due to pull by Earth on 28SEP2012 and we can expect a continued increase in meteor activity here on Earth 2-3 days before/after their passing as there will be accompanying debris.  Get outside and watch, have your cameras ready and make a capture or witness a meteor.
