EVSN - Eccentric Minor Planet to Make Close Pass to Saturn’s Orbit in 2030
Description
From Jun 22, 2021.
Minor planet 2014 UN271, discovered in data collected by the Dark Energy Survey, is set to make a close pass to Saturn’s orbit at the end of the decade, giving astronomers a chance to observe a rare trans-Neptunian object from up close...ish. Plus, Venus, Jupiter, the Milky Way, and an invisible galactic structure discovered quite by accident.
