Part 6/7:
For enthusiasts and amateur astronomers, Alinda's presence is a rare treat, as it will be bright in the sky for the next eight days. Visible predominantly from the northern hemisphere within the constellations Orion and Gemini, interested observers can catch a glimpse of this cosmic body with just binoculars or small telescopes.
The Virtual Telescope Project took the opportunity to stream the asteroid's approach live on YouTube, with additional broadcasts planned. Alinda will not have another significant close approach until January 25, 2087, marking this event as a special occasion for both amateur and professional astronomers alike.
