No worries ensures NASA, the asteroid will not collide with our beautiful planet. He will only “close” the earth this Tuesday, going less than 2 million kilometers above our heads.
An asteroid named 1994 PC1 (7482), about a kilometer in diameter should spend near the earth in the evening of tomorrow, Tuesday, January 18, 2022, at 10 p.m. (local time in Tunis), at a speed of 70,415km/h, the Cité des sciences in Tunis said on Monday.
The “proximity” of the passage of this asteroid, classified as “potentially dangerous” next to the earth is 1.93 million kilometers, five times the distance between the earth and the moon.
However, he should not present a danger to our planet, according to the space agency “NASA”. Amateurs will have the opportunity to observe the trajectory of this asteroid using a telescope with a minimum diameter of 14 cm, adds the same source.
