Ron (or somebody else of the same name) wrote in message
thusly:

Because of the near-exact six-month period, the asteroid should be
observable again in nearly the same spot in the sky next May, having gone
around the Sun twice while Earth will have made only one circuit.


Presumably inferior conjunction occurs every year. Always in May, or does it
slowly wander through the year?

Has a transit schedule been worked out? Would a transit of something so
small, be observable with current technology?
