Trailed observation of CX1 obtained at the Schiaparelli Observatory nine minutes before impact (pixel scale of 1.87″/pix). The exposure time was 60 seconds, during which CX1 trailed over 441 pixels. The curvature of CX1’s trail is attributed to its very close proximity to the observer (approximately 7000 km) and the rapid variation in its relative motion in the sky.
