Parca p-ala de la Celiabinsk l-au detectat. Si a fost mult mai mare.Detecteaza ei ocultatii ale stelelor de la (mii de) ani lumina, descoperind exoplanete si n-au putut detecta ocultatia Soarelui?  :lol:
Poate din cauza :Detectability
Asteroids as small as 2020 QG are difficult to detect because the are small and dim. Between 2010&#8211;2019, the asteroid was not brighter than about apparent magnitude 31 making it about 10 thousand times fainter than a more common discovery magnitude of 21. The Hubble Space Telescope needs 3 weeks of exposure time to reach magnitude 31. During the 2020 approach, by the time the asteroid was brighter than magnitude 24, it had a solar elongation of only 60 degrees. After closest approach the asteroid quickly had a solar elongation of 124 degrees.
