On the night of 20-21Aug05 there will be two asteroidal conjunctions that may be visible from Chicago and points south. The asteroids are Utopia and Velleda. You can find specifics about the occultations at www.asteroidoccultation.com/ and see my interactive map of the graze path at digitalmagic.i8.com/Astronomy/Occultations/.

Charlie,

Thanks for the heads up on the astreroidal event. The mapping path of visibility is quite cool. I doubt if I can observe this from my inner city lighting situation, but I will certainly try on the date.

I anticipate more!...
