Camarillo Observatory - Founded 1992

2002 AA₂₉ Recovered

4 January 2003

Earth's unusual neighbor has been sighted again, close to the nominal position predicted by the recovery campaign.  This will allow scientists to observe this asteroid for the next several years, before its orbit moves away from the Earth for the next 95 years.  Here are some interesting links related to this asteroid:
