IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for (601) Nerthus / TYC 4930-00213-1 event on 2020 Dec 17, 07:08 UT Visible from South America Summary ------- On 2020 Dec 17 UT, the 77.2 km diameter asteroid (601) Nerthus will occult a 11.7 mag star in the constellation Leo for observers along a path across South America. In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 4.19 mag to 15.87 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 5.8 seconds.
