An asteroid estimated to be the size of three football fields whizzed
close to Earth on Monday, roughly a year after one exploded over Russia
and injured 1,200 people.
Slooh Space Camera tracked the approach of the asteroid as it raced past the planet at about 43,000 km/h, starting at 9 p.m. EST, the robotic telescope service said in a statement on Slooh.com.
“We continue to discover these potentially hazardous asteroids - sometimes only days before they make their close approaches to Earth,” Cox said in a statement before the show.
He added, “We need to find them before they find us!”
Note EU-Digest: It is like a lottery if one of the asteroids will hit the earth - the only problem is that when this lottery "hits" it will mean Amageddon for the world.
