There was a warning that already this Saturday a dangerous asteroid of a huge size will fly to the very close distance. Information came from specialists working at the Department of Geodesy, Astronomy and Environmental Studies at UrFU.
According to the information provided, already on the early Saturday morning, at 04:37 Ural, an asteroid of huge dimensions will approach the Earth. Its size reaches a diameter of 300 meters. Chelyabinsk meteorite in comparison with this asteroid is very small. This space object has a numerical identifier - 441987, and is also famous for the designation 2010 NY65. Behind him, experts have been monitoring since 2010. Then it was opened by the employees of "NASA". June 24 it will be studied much more accurately, because it will just get closer, near the 17th magnitude.
There is information that the asteroid will be able to get as close to the Earth as possible for 3 million kilometers. Its speed will be 45.6 km. at one o'clock. However, by some it is not regarded as a dangerous object, although much larger than the famous Chelyabinsk meteorite.!
I am looking for this on spaceweather.com to find out how many lunar distances it is... but I can't find one going 45.6 km
