the space agency and Aviation Administration (NASA) said that the asteroid with a diameter of half a kilometer, will pass on the relatively close distance of the planet tonight, without causing any damage. This is the largest asteroid offense of its kind to pass on these near-Earth distance.
The asteroid will pass at a distance of 1.2 million kilometers from Earth, which is equivalent to the distance between the Earth and the moon nearly three times. Suffice it to a small telescope or Binoculars to observe the asteroid, called 2004 "Ba.ol 86" passage.
Said astronomer without Aumans, who works at the Jet Propulsion NASA lab in Basadina- The asteroid passage does not pose any danger to Earth in the foreseeable future, but it is largely a relatively relatively large asteroid approaching, so it represents an opportunity for further observation and knowledge.
The telescope Lincoln for Research on near-Earth asteroids in New Mexico have discovered the asteroid in 11 years, which revolves around the sun every 1.84 years.
Asteroid Survey
Scientists scanning the surface of the asteroid and planned radar while passing near the ground, hoping to learn more about the size and shape and rotation speed and other characteristics.
NASA said the asteroid will be the largest of its kind in passing offense at these near-Earth distance until the asteroid "1999 Oa.on 10" the passage of the land in 2027.
It is believed that the offense Konya this size has collided with the planet since about 65 million years in the current location of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, which led to the climate on the planet, which is believed to be responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other forms of life on earth change.
Two years ago, a relatively small asteroid exploded in the atmosphere of the Russian region of Chelyabinsk, which led to the injury of 1,500 people after flying glass and debris. On that same day over the asteroid is not related to the former was 17.2 thousand miles (about 28 thousand km) from Earth, the closest any of the special telecommunication networks around the Earth satellite.
