And what about Tempel 1, the orginal Deep Impact target or comet Boethin the original EPOXI target? Well, here are the links to get you started. Table 2: Table containing the orbital elements (as available from NEO site on ) for Hartley 2, Vesta, and Ceres for input into personal planetarium programs.Īlthough Vesta and Ceres are the targets of the Dawn mission and Hartley 2 the target of the EPOXI mission, there are other asteroids and comets related to the missions that you might want to try to observe! Scientists, engineers, and other staff associated with the missions have asteroids named after them for recognition of work done in the field. Orbital Elements comet 103P/Hartley 2(from Near Earth Object Program)Īsteroid 4 Vesta(from Near Earth Object Program)ĭwarf planet 1 Ceres(from Near Earth Object Program) Table 1: Charts for finding Hartley 2 20 Oct. To get a better fix on the position for your specific location, we suggest you generate an ephemeris for your location or use your own planetarium software setup for your location to pinpoint the target. These charts are just to help give you an approximate idea of where Hartley 2 is in the sky.

On 28 Oct, Hartley 2 reaches perihelion, but likely will not be visible because of the full moon passing by!Ĭharts were generated (19 Oct) using Starry Night Pro Plus 6.2.3 with some edits in Photoshop CS3. This set of charts shows the comet's motion over a 24-hour period on the given dates. The field of view is 10° x 6° for each of the charts. This set of charts shows the comet's position at 0 UT on the given date. This set of charts shows the comet's motion over several dates.

Check out our sample ephemeris to learn how to read and interpret these files. Users may wish to generate an ephemeris for their specific location and only for the times when the asteroid is above their local horizon and it is dark. Target Body: Comet 103P/Hartley 2 or Asteroid 4 Vesta or. The following ephemerides were generated using the JPL HORIZONS system web-interface using the following settings: Ephemerides, Star Charts, Orbital Elements Ephemerides
