Giant Crossing Asteroid Close With Earth - An asteroid the size of the aircraft will pass the Earth within a distance of eight-tenths of the distance the moon. This is the closest distance to Earth the object is the shortest distance years.The size 30 will occur on Tuesday at 18:28 ET (tomorrow morning GMT) when the asteroid is within 202,000 kilometers of our planet, an asteroid NASA said.The U.S. space agency is If it's classified as an asteroid to hit earth, it can cause explosions and 7.0 megatons of 4000 quake on the Richter scale, according to scientists at Purdue University "potentially hazardous objects.". If it falls into the ocean, can cause a tsunami as high as 70 meters to 60 miles from the crash site, experts say.
However, space rock, called Asteroid 2005 YU55, does not pose a threat of collision with Earth, according to NASA's Near Earth Object Program.NASA plan to study the asteroid with the Goldstone radar antenna in the Mojave Desert of California. Goldstone antenna is a very sensitive radio telescope that is used to investigate quasars, radar mapping of the planet and the scientists plan to reconstruct the asteroid shape comets.The with fine resolution of 13 feet (4 meters) by using an antenna. Observations are also scheduled at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.It will also provide a rare opportunity for amateur astronomers to directly observe the asteroid with optical telescopes.
