Minor planets at unusually favorable elongations in 2003
Abstract
A list is presented of minor planets that are much brighter than usual at their 2003 apparitions. Very close approaches within 0.025 AU of (37655) 1994 PM and within 0.065 AU of (22771) 1999 CU3, and a moderately close approach of planet 5381 Sekhmet are especially noteworthy.
