Where is Asteroid (NEO) 2016 VA?

Above the horizon.  Circumpolar today
Alt: 62.06°   Az: 71.79°   Direction: East-North-East
Please note: this information pertains to a Near-Earth Object (NEO). During close approaches, our current computational model is not able to provide an accurate position, due to the high speeds of these objects. We plan to refine our algorithms to improve accuracy in the future. JPL Horizons can compute precise positions in these situations.

Asteroid (NEO) 2016 VA is currently in the constellation of Perseus. The current Right Ascension is 03h 27m 07s and the Declination is +51° 28’ 40”.

Right now, from the selected location (Greenwich, UK), Asteroid (NEO) 2016 VA can be observed looking in the East-North-East direction at an altitude of 62.06 degrees above the horizon (view Asteroid (NEO) 2016 VA position on a interactive sky map). Given its current brightness (magnitude 28.83), 2016 VA is visible only through long exposure photography.
