Asteroid To Hide Bright Star

[Speed]

And if you live in the LA area, you are set to see one of the best star occultations (eclipse) ever in North America!

Asteroid 824, Anastasia, will pass in front of a magnitude 2.5 star (the North Star is magnitude 2.0), and the star will appear to wink out for several seconds.

Cool Speed, thanks for the heads up! Now if I can drag my arse out of bed in time to see it...
