NEAR EARTH ASTEROID 1988 EG
In the first part of March, 1998, one of the asteroids I discovered, 1988 EG, made a 3 million mile flyby past the planet Earth.
I made this discovery while working for the PCAS program at JPL under the direction of planetary astronomer Eleanor F. Helin. Radar observations
of this object were taken at both the Goldstone Solar System Radar of the Deep Space Network on eight dates surrounding
the Feb. 28 close approach, as well as at Arecibo Observatory by Steven J. Ostro. Details can be found
here. You can see the original discovery images here.
Find out more about how radar observations are taken here.
Read more about 1988 EG's close approach at the Planetary Society.
From these radar observations, a 3D model of the asteroid can be created. This data has yet to be released, but Steve Ostro has reported to me that 1988 EG is a "pretty round rock."
Radar image of 1988 EG
Here's 1988 EG moving across the sky. Images taken by Brian D. Warner of The Minor Planet Observer on March 2, 1998.
Images taken on a Meade 10" LX-200 at f4; Pictor 416XT @ -30° C,
at MPO Observatory, Florissant, CO. The time separation between the extreme images is 7 minutes. To quote Brian himself, "The asteroid
was moving faster than a Cadillac on a West Texas highway..."
Another asteroid I discovered, 1992 SK, will be observed at Goldstone
in March, 1999.
And, on July 28, 1999, the Deep Space 1 spacecraft will flyby asteroid 1992 KD, another asteroid which I helped to discover.
...and a few comets
While you're here, check out the four comets I discovered while working
at JPL! I made these discoveries while working for the
PCAS program under the direction of Eleanor F. Helin.
Here are discovery announcements for the comets I discovered:
1989w
1989y
1991r
1992a
And a few pics...
1991r Helin-Alu
This image was taken on the 200-inch
telescope by Pat McCarthy at Palomar
Observatory on the very same night I discovered it.
1992a Helin-Alu
Here's a picture of 1992a, taken by Olivier
Hainaut of the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii.
1992a is the diffuse object near the center of the image.
1989w Helin-Roman-Alu 1
The above image was taken on 5/15/96 with the 2.3m
Bok Telescope of the Steward
Observatory on Kitt Peak
and is a 120 second exposure. It was taken by S. Larson and C. Hergenrother.
This pic of 1989w taken by Akimasa Nakamura of the Kuma Kogen Astronomical Observatory.
Check out this 3D orbital plot of 1989w.
This 3D plot is courtesy the AstroArts
homepage. It shows the current position of 1989w and the planets.
To view this, you must have JAVA capability.
1989y Helin-Roman-Alu 2
Here's an image of 1989y, taken by Jim Scotti on the
Spacewatch telescope at Kitt Peak.
Here's the same comet taken by Akimasa Nakamura of the Kuma Kogen Astronomical Observatory.
And a 3D orbital plot of 1989y.
MORE NEAR EARTH ASTEROIDS
Here are a few more Near Earth Asteroids I discovered. NEAs are asteroids
which intersect the orbits of the inner planets. These are asteroids which
could potentially collide with the Earth. These are the same types of asteroids featured in such
movies as Deep Impact. Sleep tight...
1988 EG
1988 PA
1989 RS1
1989 RC
1992 JB
1992 QN
1992 SK
1993 VW
1994 PM
1994 RC
Check out this picture of 1988EG, the first
NEA I ever found. It was discovered on the 18" Schmidt telescope at Palomar
Observatory. This image was taken on the 48"
Schmidt at Palomar.
Three of these asteroids, 1988EG, 1994PM, and 1994RC have an especially
high risk of colliding with the earth. They are therefore listed in the
"List Of The
Larger Potentially Dangerous Minor Planets" uh, list.
Here's an animation I did for the fun of it a long time ago, using a series
of images taken of the asteroid Gaspra.
This animation has become a mainstay on many astronomy related WWW sites.
In fact, the guys at NASA took the animation and wrote up some documentation
for it, and didn't even give me credit. Not that I'm mad about that or
anything, oh no.
Here it is:
And be sure to check out the Multimission Image Processing Lab at JPL, a place
I used to hang at quite a bit. Also, be sure to visit the website of the Orange County Astronomers, the
club responsible for launching my professional career as an astronomer.
My Life As An Astronomer...
Yep, I used to be an astronomer. Well, before that I was a musician, went
to Eastman School of Music
where I majored in music composition/piano performance. Then I took some
time off from school and became an astronomer for a while. An astronomer
with an interest in 3D graphics, but who still did music. Next, I went
back to school at Chapman University
in Orange, CA to finish my music degree, skipping class occasionally because,
well, really I was still working as an astronomer, and even though I finally
graduated with a degree in music, I found myself becoming more and more
interested in 3D graphics, but not necessarily less interested in music.
Or astronomy. So, last time I checked, I am a graphic artist by profession
who still does music, and still digs astronomy, but what I really want
to do is direct.
Be sure to check out the Eastman School of Music Composition Department Homepage as well as the
Electronic and Computer Music Center!

Why not give it a try:
OK, here's one for ya:
Have you ever been walking through a mall, and there's music playing
in the background, and suddenly you realize you're walking in sync with
the music, you know, in rhythm, and with every beat of the drum you feel
yourself taking another step, and you start to feel really silly, even
self-conscious, like everyone's staring at you and grinning, so you purposely
try to walk out of sync by either speeding up or slowing down your pace,
but you find this to be a very difficult thing to do since the alluring
pulse of the music is so hypnotic, and besides, you might look silly speeding
up or slowing down, because people can tell what you're up to, but then
you realize that, without even trying, you're slowly beginning to emerge
from your bondage with the music, and you find that you're no longer walking
to the beat, and gradually the cold sweat you broke into begins to fade,
and now your day can continue as if none of this ever happened?
No need to answer, it's a rhetorical question.
My God.
I just realized it.
Siting here.
December 06, 1997.
After having way too much to drink.
And driving home way too fast.
And endangering lives.
My life included.
And feeling very level.
And yet feeling very scatered.
This is what I just realized:
Everything is poetry.
Just what does this AnimAlu guy look like, anyway?
Many more links coming soon! (If I feel like it...)
"A woman in a bar asked me how I feel, and I said you know how when you're sitting in a chair, and you lean back on two legs, and you lean back too
far, and you almost fall over, but just at the last minute you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time."
