The largest asteroid that passes past Earth tonight may look wax

The greatest asteroid known to man called 3122 Florence (1981 ET3) will approach our planet tonight, the night between August 31st and September 1st.

In a diameter of 15 miles [4.3 km], the asteroid will pass some 15 million miles [7 million km] from the earth, according to the text now broadcast by KJ, with exactly 18 times the distance of the earth and the moon.

This is the largest asteroid that goes so close to Earth since the program entered. NASA tracking these objects.

Although many of us know that other asteroids may have drawn closer than that to Earth, all have had much smaller sizes. Florence is the largest asteroid that passes so close to Earth since NASA began studying asteroids near Earth, about a century ago”, says scholar Paul Chodas/ Timeout
