Very rarely can happen that an asteroid occult another asteroid. To title of curiosity I have calculated a list of the next events.

Thank you Ricci – I’ve added this to my Favourites, noting that Sappho on 11th July 2010 appears to be the first event. 2001SX169 may be too dim for me at mag 17.7 unless it is relatively stationary.

Cheers

Yes, that is an ineresting list. Do you know if IOTA are taking an interest? I haven't heard anything through them, but it seems like a nice event to observe.

Thanks for sharing!
