Part 4/6:

Due to this remarkable proximity, Alinda will appear bright in the night sky for several days, especially favorable for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. People can spot it in the constellations of Orion and Gemini, and it can even be viewed using just binoculars or small telescopes. This period serves as a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and amateur astronomers to engage with a significant cosmic event.

To enhance the experience, the Virtual Telescope Project livestreamed the asteroid’s approach on their YouTube channel and has scheduled another live viewing for Sunday at 2:30 PM in Brasília time. For those interested in following the live stream, a link is available on the Olhar Digital website.
