A long known asteroid suddenly sprouted a long narrow tail. This is a 22 minute (45 secs x 30) cropped imaged taken with the Tombaugh Reflector at Farpoint 01-10-19 about 8:00 U.T. The tail was visible faintly in each of the 45 second images. This asteroid may have developed the tail through an impact with another rock. [T08] ATLAS Mauna Loa images 1-5.5 U.T. showed a comet like tail extending from the asteroid and comments started flowing on mpml and comet ml list servers. A couple of months ago it went through a 2 magnitude outburst and is still at that level as of last night.
