Asteroid 861 Aida
I just did my second blind identification of a UFO in my photos ever. Turned out to be 861 “Aida” discovered in 1917 and named after Verdi’s opera. Swings by every 5.5 years. Is a whopping 65kms big and hangs out in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Mars – 2016 vs 2018 – Mid June
Mars is approaching opposition and is currently experiencing a dust storm. The difference is clear in these two images taken 2 years apart but at the same time of year. Mars is already larger and continuing to get bigger as it approaches opposition.
