Asteroid 2012 TC4 pass by Earth at a distance of 95,000 km


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.
