Talk:2011 MD

Asteroid or Meteoroid? (Should 2011 MD get plutoed?)
JPL calls this an Apollo asteroid, but if the concensus is that it would burn up in the atmosphere, isn't it logically a meteoroid then? &mdash; Eoghanacht  talk 20:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Logically I think so. Note that oceanic storms are named according to their highest intensity (Hurricane Katrina not Tropical Storm Katrina). Marcus   Qwertyus   20:58, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Anything 1-meter in diameter and larger is technically an asteroid. If it entered the atmosphere the airburst would likely produce a handful of fragments that would reach the ground at terminal velocity. 90% of it would burn up in the atmosphere. -- Kheider (talk) 13:29, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

So what happened on the day ?
It would be very interesting to know how close it actually passed, photos when very close, size updates, etc. Also, how the orbit changed & future encounters. SombreGreenbul (talk) 10:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
