Last I checked, they have not reacquired the asteroid. Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNh85GXFX0E
Thank you. Watched it.
A few years ago I read a book about the potential danger from the sky. The book pointed out that the Southern Hemisphere has only about 1 tenth the number of observers that are at work in the Northern Hemisphere. This includes both professional and amateur astronomers. The book suggested helping interested folk in the SH acquire telescopes and communications to help watch for these dangers.
