Asteroidal occultations with Google Earth

Friday, August 26, 2005 (20:58 UTC)

Google Maps Mania links to a really fine mashup with Google Earth support: Occultation Maps for North America for asteroids.

Asteroidal occultations are like miniature solar eclipses, except it's with a star instead of the sun and an asteroid instead of the moon. Click on a link to view the paths where the occultations are visible; from there you can download the KML for Google Earth.
