Please note asteroid about 20 meters will “close” to Earth … – Ideal Digital

Attentive to what’s coming: According to recently reported NASA heavenly body said insurance will not impact the planet and “not appear to pose any danger” either. Recall that its orbit would bring him back in the future and their movements will be closely watched to keep in mind.

There is no doubt that an asteroid is always cause for attention astronomer community and as such are reactions happening on the possibility to see it or not.

A small asteroid will pass only about 20 meters “very close” to Earth on Sunday, NASA said today that ruled out any threat some for planet Earth. At its closest proximity, right at 14:18 (ET Time) September 7, can be viewed from our planet.

A asteoride the size of two buses is way to reach our planet, just missing more than 48 hours to arrive. Earth live this Sunday the approach of a small asteroid, called 2014 RC, which in its time of closest approach, at 18:18 UTC, the asteroid will be roughly about New Zealand. This distance is termed ‘friction’.

Astronomers argue that its reflected brightness, the asteroid is about 20 meters in size. We recall that was discovered on Aug. 31 by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona

So, independently following night was detected by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope on Maui, Hawaii.



The Most

Yes, both centers, as reflected in NASA; reported their observations to the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.

The approach assumed that 2014 RC will be approximately one tenth of the distance from the center of the Earth to the Moon, or about 40,000 kilometers

As astronomers have revealed the apparent magnitude of the asteroid at that time will be approximately 11.5, which makes it possible to not see with the naked eye.

Of course, amateur astronomers with small telescopes can discern the emergence of escape & lt; movement of this near-Earth asteroid.

It is also noted that the asteroid will pass below the geosynchronous Earth orbit communications satellites and meteorological around 36,000 kilometers above the surface.

Astronomers affect the approach of this asteroid creates a unique opportunity for researchers to observe and learn more about them.

recall that this celestial object does not appear to pose a threat and that there is no risk of impacting our planet. Surely since Sunday will see the images captured by astronomers.

The reactions in social networks and comments have not stopped to succeed from the moment in which it has unveiled the arrival of the asteroid.
