An asteroid passes through the Earth and the Moon tonight

The iron ice mass and other elements will pass just 190 thousand miles [190 km] from the earth.

This is a visit coming shortly after that of two small asteroids 2019 un8 and 2019 ouo8, passing the transit within the orbit of the moon and being discovered when they were leaving. The newcomer, called 2019 Ub8, approaches Earth a few days after its discovery on October 26th.

Its diameter is estimated to be from 4.3 to 9.5m. Dimensions are modest according to researchers compared to those of the asteroid that erupted in the sky of Chelybinsk in February 2013.

However, the asteroid will be able to be seen with the help of a telescope with considerable diameter. /tch
