For the NASA release go here: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-115&rn=news.xml&rst=2549 For positional data go to: http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/MPEph/MPEph.html and enter 2010 GA6 in the search box. If you're fairly close to Stansbury Park you can enter my Observatory Code 718. Further out you'll need to enter your long. and lat. patrick
