"Asteroid named
Ra-Shalom - 9Oct2016"
Dear Doves,
The space weather website (http://spaceweather.com) has a list
of encounters of the Earth with what they call “potentially
hazardous asteroids”. In the list they have an Earth-asteroid
encounter on the 9 October 2016 with an asteroid named Ra-Shalom
(Ra- Egyptian sun-god who symbolizes enlightment & life and
Shalom for peace) by its discoverer. The asteroid misses the
Earth at 58.3 Moon-to-Earth distance. This asteroid was numbered
2100. According to the website below, the name of the asteroid
was chosen to commemorate the Camp David Mid-East Peace
conference, at which time the asteroid appeared in 1978. For
further information see the website below.
