2021 March 30 - Asteroid occultation event
(52) Europa / UCAC4-560-030197 event on 2021 Mar 30, 11:18 UT
I've prepared finder charts from DSS and The Sky 6.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
-------
On 2021 Mar 30 UT, the 325.6 km diameter asteroid (52) Europa will occult a
12.1 mag star in the constellation Gemini for observers along a path across
China.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star
will drop by 0.64 mag to 11.82 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most
17.3 seconds.
This update is based on, astrometry for the asteroid kindly provided by the IAU
Minor Planet Center.
This work has made use of data from the European Space Agency (ESA)
mission Gaia (http://www.cosmos.esa.int/gaia), processed by the
Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium
(DPAC, http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/dpac/consortium).
Funding for the DPAC has been provided by national institutions, in
particular the institutions participating in the Gaia Multilateral Agreement.
