The century's largest asteroid is expected to pass near the Earth at a relatively close distance of 7 million miles, it declared. NASA.
The asteroid called Florence, with a diameter of 4.4 miles, will pose no threat to Earth.
Meanwhile, other asteroids have passed near Earth, estimated to be smaller compared to what is expected to be spent in the next few hours.
Florence was first discovered in 1981, reports “BBC”
He is the largest asteroid to pass our planet since NASA launched a programme for detecting and tracking asteroids near Earth, said Paul Chodas, NASA Centre manager for Objects Studies near Earth.
Scientists plan to study the asteroid closely, using images taken from California and Puerto Rico, writes the eye.net. It will also be seen with good observation devices because it reflects more than 20% of the sunlight that hits its surface.
An object of Florence' size would have global effects if it hit Earth. Scientists believe they have now identified more than 90% of such rocks that move through space?.
