An amazingly large asteroid will fly very close to Earth on Halloween

Discovered two weeks ago, a large asteroid 2015TV145 will fly at a distance of 1, 3 times farther from the moon (approximately 310,000 miles from the Earth’s surface). The asteroid 2015TV145 is the largest flying object to Earth since 2006. Until 2027 such large objects are not expected.

The closest 2015TV145 will fly to the Earth on October 31, 2015 at 11:14 am. According to EarthSky.org, it can be best observed in the Western Hemisphere in the morning with a telescope.

“When it passes, this object represents a truly outstanding scientific opportunity to study the physical properties of this asteroid,” astronomers write on the NASA website. They also note that the object is “eccentric,” that is, a large deviation from the orbit. ”

Despite the supernatural, the asteroid poses no threat to the Earth.
