Jiangxi occultation__ 2014 December 17

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 60 km diameter of Jiangxi. . The DAMIT 3D model has been overlaid on the showing how the orientation lowered the probability of a positive chord. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on near the predicted path.
