Astroid speeding at a frantic speed hit the video
The celestial body will approach a minimum distance to the Blue Planet on April 29.
Very soon, the Earth will be in a potentially dangerous situation, according to NASA, - a large asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 flies along the route crossing our orbit. While the cosmic stone is only on its way to our planet, Virtual Telescope astronomers managed to capture it on video.
The video published on its YouTube channel the Space.com portal. On frames taken on March 16, 2020, the asteroid itself is visible in the form of a point. Also, astronomers showed the trajectory of its flight.
A heavenly body measuring 1.8 to 4.1 kilometers in diameter will approach 6.3 million kilometers as close to the Earth as possible, which is 16 times the distance from our planet to the Moon.
