In the Internet appeared the video, which flies past Earth asteroid, which is dubbed “the second Chelyabinsk”, reports Rus.Media.

Fortunately, the asteroid did not fall to the planet, and successfully passed. However, astronomers have said that for the relatively small size of the heavenly body was not a threat.

It is noted that as close to Earth asteroid 2012 TC4 passed about 06:40 local time. Shortly before this, astronomers were able to make the appropriate video, capturing the asteroid.

If you look at the video, you will notice that the asteroid is flickering. This is due to the fact that it rotates with great speed. It is estimated that the size of the 2012 TC4 does not exceed 40 metres in diameter.
