Call for Observation: (284) Amalia Occults Two Stars in One Night!

JOA 2017, Vol. 7, No. 4, Page 3

Author(s): Oliver Klös

Abstract: On 2017 Dec 04, minor planet (284) Amalia will occult two stars within 55 minutes.Both occultations could be observed from Europe and America. In the South of the U.S.A.both paths will be very close together. So observers have the chance to measure two occultations by the same asteroid from the same observing site in one night. Before these events, another occultation by (284) Amalia could be observed on 2017 Dec 01. European observers may measure two occultations by (284) Amalia from the same location within three days.
