This minor planet was 5 million kilometers near the Earth. Some clouds diminished the sky transparency at the very beginning of the pictures. One can notice that the asteroid's spot is not round. This is due to its rapid movement during the 60 seconds exposure time. It may not be reproduced in any form without written permission of the copyright owner.
