If you have a bad day, perhaps here you are comforted. Do you remember that asteroid, one of those who suddenly became famous, who is said to be the size of a skyscraper that can affect the ground? Well, we fought.
His name is 2025 FA22, and this heavenly happiness was recorded by the scientists of the Laboratory of the Sunny Astronomy of the Academy of Sciences of Russia: “Today at 10:41 Moscow time (ours 9:41 on the peninsula), it went on land and moon at the estimated minimum distance (almost 800,000 kilometers) and at the moment.”
As EFE recalls, this asteroid has a size of 130 to 290 meters and was included in the list of one of the potentially more dangerous celestial bodies for the planet.
As long as we breathe. How long? 2025 FA22 will return to Earth “eleven years, 20 August 2036, but a distance is strikingly than this time (25 times more).”
“The dangerous approach is expected until 2089 and especially in 2173,” the statement of Russian scientists said.
Continue good news, according to this laboratory, “the likelihood that this body affects the planet, tiny”, and, given their current trajectory, they believe that the possibility of “invalid”.
“Russian scientists have noted that this is one of the largest, which will happen at a distance of less than a million kilometers of land and emphasized that throughout human history has fallen so great,” the EFE adds. To visualize it, this data is enough: the Arizona Barringer crater in the US was caused by the fall of the meteorite between ten and one hundred times lower.
Such an astronomical phenomenon could be observed, as shown, thanks to 300 millimeters telescope for advanced and professional fans.
