Asteroiden & Meteoriten
22.10.2015 um 21:36Am 31.10.2015 nähert sich der Asteroid 2015 TB145 der Erde nahe des Orbits vom Mond.
Mit einer Geschwindigkeit von über 120.000 km/h fliegt der ca 400m Brocken mit einem Abstand von 480.000 km an der Erde vorbei, hoffentlich.
Was mich verwundert, dieser wurde erst am 10.10.2015 entdeckt!!!!
Asteroid 2015 TB145 was discovered on Oct. 10, 2015, by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS-1 (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) on Haleakala, Maui, part of the NASA-funded Near-Earth Object Observation (NEOO) Program. According to the catalog of near-Earth objects (NEOs) kept by the Minor Planet Center, this is the closest currently known approach by an object this large until asteroid 1999 AN10, at about 2,600 feet (800 meters) in size, approached at about 1 lunar distance (238,000 miles from Earth) in August 2027.
