At imaging time, the asteroid was about 155,000 miles (250,000 km) away from Earth, 2/3 s of the lunar distance, and it was still approaching us safely. Image via Virtual Telescope Project.
Earlier today (July 28, 2020), the Earth-asteroid 2020 was an extremely close, but safe, encounter with our planet in OAE 4, reaching a minimum distance of less than 11% from Earth of approximately 26,000 miles (42,000 km).. Average distance of Moon. We managed to capture the image of it drifting past.
Space rocks smaller than about 25 meters (about 82 feet) will burn the most as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere and cause little or no damage.
If a rocky meteorite is larger than 25 meters, but smaller than a kilometer (slightly more than 1/2 mile) to hit the Earth, it will cause local damage to the impact zone.
The mount. The Lemon survey discovered the asteroid on July 26, 2020.
The image above comes from a single, 120-second exposure, taken remotely with the robotic unit available on the “Elena” (planewave 17; + Paramount ME + SBIG STL-6303E) robot telescope.
The telescope tracked the asteroid’s rapid apparent motion. This is why stars appear as long trails, while the asteroid looks like a bright and sharp dot of light in the center of the image marked by an arrow.
Planetview 17-? The D-Kirkham Astrograph Telescope of the -F / 6.8 (432/2939 mm) corrected telescope project was used to capture the image above the asteroid 2020 OA4. It is named “Elena” for Gianluca Masi’s mother. Read more about this telescope.
Bottom Line: Image and information about the asteroid 2020 OA4, which swept within 11% of the Moon’s distance on July 28, 2020.

Livs, the native people of this region, referred to this place as the Garden of God! The area is comprised of 42 hectares rich with archeological, architectural, historical and art treasures, which tell the compelling story of a thousand year long history. Exhibits at the museum show the people lives and events throughout history as well as their traditions and crafts.
Turaida castle is the main attraction. Its massive red brick tower can be spotted from across the Gauja River at various overlook points. It was originally a wooden castle which belonged to the Liv leader Kaupo but was eventually burned to the ground during a series of endless battles. The masonry castle was erected in 1214 at the request of Bishop Albert. Initially the new castle was named Frederland. However this new name was never completely accepted by the local people so its duration was brief and was eventually returned to its original name of Turaida. Additional defensive structures were built and improved upon over the centuries including the construction of new outbuildings and living quarters within the castle yard. The invention of the firearm caused the demise of the castle’s strategic value. Following a fire in 1776, it was not rebuilt and gradually turned into ruins. In 1976, regular and systematic archeological work along with conservation and restoration efforts began.
The main tower is called a bergfrid - one of the oldest structural parts of the castle which was built at the very beginning. It was used for scouting the general area and as a last resort in the event of a siege. The tower is five stories high and the observation platform is about 30 meters/ 90 feet above the ground.
The building on the west side of the defensive west wall was built in the 15th century. It is called the New Hall. After the 16th century it was also used for grain storage. The building frame has remained mostly intact. It is a three story building with a basement, where you will find exhibitions about Turaida's castle building history, the history of the adjacent lands and a record of events that took place here while the castle was part of the Archdiocese of Riga. A large half-rounded tower on the west side of the castle was erected during the 15th century as part of a defense system for cannon fire. A prison was located in the basement of this tower. The original walls remain and, during the excavation, prisoner chain brackets were found in them. The tower-shaped southern structure was built during the 13th century to protect access to the castle's inner yard from the south.
The wooden church of Turaida is one of the oldest churches in Latvia. Archeological explorations indicate that there have been at least two churches on the site before this one. One of them was destroyed during the Great Northern War. The current church was built in 1750 during the time of pastor Daniel Merkel and remained relatively unchanged. During the 2009-2010 renovation care was taken to duplicate the original craftsmanship and technology available during the original construction. For example, birch bark was used for insulation and the paint for the outer walls was made from a rye suspension added to ocher pigment. Today, the church looks as it did when it was built.
The construction of Turaida Manor and the castle’s defensive structures, began during the Middle Ages and continued over the years. In the beginning of the 18th century, the size of the estate began to increase as more structures were built outside the walls of the castle and closer to roads and pasture lands. Eventually, only the manor owner’s residence and a few other buildings remained within the territory of the castle property. Today, more than twenty buildings have been preserved; some of them are over 200 years old.
One of the most notable places within Turaida Museum Reserve is Dainu kalns/ the hill of Folksongs. This sculpture garden is devoted to Latvian folklore. It was created in 1985 and commemorates Krisjanis Barons, the most noted compiler of Latvian folk songs. Dainu kalns is also a symbol of national pride. Twenty-six hand-made sculptures by Indulis Ranka meld with untold natural beauty creating the very special aura of this place. The sculptures embody the poetry within our folk songs. These songs express everything from love, honesty and devotion to that of a profound respect for nature, family, humanity and our nation.
From a fellow bad sleep scheduler; it can be hard on the partner who has to sleep at a normal time. My husband has to leave by 830 every morning, so he can't stay up super late, and I don't usually sleep before 2am. Our compromise was that I'll hang out with hubby for a while in bed before he's ready to sleep (watching a show/YouTube, reading next to each other), and then I'll go hang out in the living room until I'm ready to come back to bed. Maybe this could work for you, too? I do suggest trying to get to sleep before 3, if you can. It's just better for your health in general, but I know it's not easy switching from being a night owl. Hope it works out for you!I've been having quite some unsettling issues with my desktop recently In the last 6 months up until now I've had an alarmingly growing rate of malfunctions.
All of these issues lead me to a motherboard malfunction. I doubted up until 4 drives just decided to be inaccessible after a few hours.
The total computer is about 3 years old, except for the older, smaller hard drives which came from my desktop before that. This desktop was built myself.
Cut power from computer entirely, gave capacitors a chance to empty, restarted.
Reverted BIOS to factory settings.
I'm at the point of losing sanity right now. Everything is dying and I have no clue why it is or how I prevent it. I do not have the budget to splurge on replacements parts since I'm a student and this desktop was a hefty investment for long-term use. Now I'm looking for input to help pinpoint and hopefully resolve the problem. I will happily take any suggestions!
RAM failing, frequent RAM related BSOD's, CPU fan failing, 4/6 hard drives inaccessible. Prime suspect = faulty motherboard.
I've had this problem too earlier this year. I thought the problem was with the graphics card but after a couple of months the pc was completely dead. Turns out it was the PSU.
It's still possible your motherboard is broken. Look for broken capacitors.
I agree with Warheart,
