California - An asteroid with a size equal to the width of a football field is found by the Virtual Telescope Project based in Italy. Asteroids with a width of 100 meters it will reach the closest point to the earth padajarak 960 thousand kilometers.
Reported Nbnews (7/32013), code-named asteroid (2013 ET) is expected to pass through the earth on Saturday (9/3).
The news circulating, the asteroid is approaching Earth after asteroid with a width of 10 meters (2013 EC) to reach the closest distance to Earth 370 thousand kilometers. on Monday.
Large asteroid with the code 2013 ET estimated past Earth at a distance of 2.5 times the distance of Earth to the moon. so, it would be too much for the less obvious and we observe Langin without the help of binoculars.
However, the Virtual Telescope Project which is located in Italy will provide the video webcast or a direct view to observing the space rock. You can access the video webcast through this link.
Astronomers say the asteroid will not have an impact hazard to Earth. Asteroid 2013 ET is the same as asteroid 2013 EC that does not pose a threat to Earth.
Astronomers estimate that the number of near-Earth asteroids reaches up to 1 million. However, only 9700 have been found to date.
Astromom also revealed that the object was not detected could have struck Earth without warning. As was the case on February 15, 2013, in which a meteor explosion caused thousands of Russian population exposed to injuries from broken glass resulting shock wave.
NASA scientists have identified and mapped the orbit of 980 near-Earth asteroids, which have a size of at least 1 kilometer wide. Asteroids are believed to have struck the Earth 65 million years ago and caused the extinction of ancient animals, dinosaurs. (FMH)
