OCCULTATION BY (989) SCHWASSMANNIA - 2004 AUG 07
On 2004 Aug 07 UT, the 12 km diameter asteroid (989) Schwassmannia will occult a 9.1 mag star in the constellation Pegasus for observers along a path across NE Australia.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 0.2 mag to 7.4 mag (the combined magnitude of the asteroid and the other component of the double star) for at most 1.2 seconds.
