An asteroid the size of
a house will pass very close to Earth today, as scientists have caution.
However, in spite of the fact that the space is very close, the scientists
insist that there is no risk of collision with our planet.
Asteroid 2012 TC4 held
at a distance of only 95,000 km from the Earth, which is about a quarter of the
distance to the Moon at its maximum proximity to the Earth. This asteroid was
discovered by astronomers October 4. NASA scientists will be watching it from
the lab Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
On Sunday, the asteroid
2012 TV will also pass through the inner orbit of the moon at a distance of
about 255,000 from the Earth. NASA scientists and astronomers regularly watch
the sky for potentially hazardous asteroids that could pose a threat of
collision with the Earth.
Group of hunters
asteroid announced on Thursday that they are on track to finalize the launch of
private space telescope designed to search for potentially dangerous objects in
outer space.
