This video shows the trajectory of the asteroid (488453) 1994 XD against the background of stars when observed from Earth from June 8 to June 13, 2023.
The diameter of this asteroid is estimated at several hundred meters. On the night of June 11-12, asteroid (488453) 1994 XD will pass at a distance of 3.2 million km from Earth against the background of the constellation Cepheus. That is, more than 8 times farther than the Moon. To see an asteroid as a faint star, you will need a very powerful amateur telescope.
Modeling and rendering were performed by author of AstroTubo channel using own software. The calculations took into account the mutual influence of the Sun, all the planets of the Solar System, the Moon and the asteroid on each other. Relativistic effects were also taken into account in the calculation.
