What instrument would they have used to see it before they did?
JPL reports the object to be of 26th magnitude astronomical brightness, which puts it at about the limit of Earth-bound telescopes that know what they are looking for, so they can let the telescope integrate the image for an hour or more.

Don't confuse him with Science.
The news reports say that it is less than 30 meters diameter, about the size of the penalty area on a soccer field. Here is a satellite view centered on Lancaster, where we know there are 30 or more soccer fields in one cluster, much bigger than the size of the asteroid. Can you pick them out?
Worried about the climate on the sun?
Nope.
Just posting stuff that is climate related.
This is the climate and weather thread, correct?

When did they notice the astetoid? A month before it passed? A week? A day?

When it became visible by the instruments they run every day.
The sun is the big thing up in the sky that makes it all warmy outside.

Probably? When are you going to start showing it?
