Scientists reported in October near the Earth will fly a giant asteroid threat.

They also added that the probability of collision with our planet is not equal to one percent, reports Rus.Media.

For the first time this celestial body seemed to astronomers of the Earth in 2012. With the help of modern telescopes, they were able to determine its size. It was bigger than the meteorite, which in 2013 fell in Chelyabinsk. Its size from 10 to 30 meters.

Scientists said that about Blue planet it will pass at a record close distance. If the astronomers are correct, then by our planet the asteroid will fly at 43 thousand miles. According to some other sources, the distance may be equal to 6 thousand kilometers.

The asteroid will not hit Earth, because his trajectory does not pass through our planet, but scientists said that if this will happen, which is unlikely, the consequences will be, to put it mildly, disappointing. Still, scientists assure the inhabitants of our planet that do not need to worry.
