NEWSFLASH:Dave McDonald discovers Asteroid 2008TM9

Congratulations on your fantastic discovery Dave from all in Cork Astronomy Club.

Hi folks, just letting you know that the Fanning interview has been canned.

On the positive side, Dave G, Andreas and myself will on the AIRS show tomorrow night (Tuesday).

Also, I was on Kildare FM today - Donegal radio is postponed 'til tomorrow...

There's be an article in the Leinster Leader, probably Wednesday and one (probably) in the next edition of the Kildare Post, whenever that is due out...

Cheers
Dave

Nice job Dave, Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

This just in from John McConnell:

Dave - got this from Dr Ted Bowell this morning

"John: Congratulations to Dave! Must be asteroid Davemcdonald that spurred him. Ted".

I'm sure i speak for every member of the IAS when i say congrats on an amazing discovery Dave!

James.

Folks - thanks be to God that the whirlwind has died down a bit now So much so that I actually got a good bit of time yesterday to produce a far better image of 2008 TM9.

Its a lot cleaner than the previous image I had posted and I've included the JPL data and orbit for anyone interested.

Enjoy

Dave
