[Detailed Finder Charts]


Updated:   2020 APR 06, 04:45 UT

Event Rank : 94

(The event Rank is a measure of the likelihood of observing an event, and is equal to the probability of at least one successful observation by a team of two observers spaced 1/8 path width just inside opposite sides of the predicted path. An event rank of 100 indicates that the prediction is expected to be very accurate).


THE UPDATED PATH

Note: The duration given in the line below is the interval during which the occultation shadow sweeps across the Earth - please see the minute markers on the map to determine the approximate time for your location.

Pythia Update Map


On 2020 Jul 14 UT, the 46.5 km diameter asteroid (432) Pythia will occult a 10.3 mag star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus for observers along a path across Western Australia from Kununurra across eastern Western Australia to east of Esperence.

In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 1.62 mag to 11.64 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 6.1 seconds.
