Scientists-astronomers have calculated the precise distance to the Earth of the asteroid TC4 – which is a potential killer of our planet, reports Rus.Media. It turned out that gradually, the trajectory of the TS-4 is changed, and after a collision with him on 12 October may come to an end

The appearance of the asteroid TC-4 in the vicinity of the Earth has given rise to new talk of a possible Apocalypse. A collision with a massive celestial body would inevitably lead to a catastrophe of planetary scale – the real end of the world. The chances of grounders to survive such a cataclysm is minimal.

According to the revised data, the asteroid TC-4 is moving at a speed 27540 miles per hour. October 12 at 5.40 (GMT) it will be at a minimum distance from the Earth in 50-100 miles. That is, when changing the trajectory of the asteroid will reach Earth in less than two hours.

The orbit on which the moving TC-4, changes. Five years ago, he flew a distance 94800 miles from Earth. Now, as you can see, this distance has decreased by almost two times.

Astrophysicists recognize that a collision can bring on world chaos and destruction. Like a few years ago, the Chelyabinsk meteorite was several times smaller, however the fall was a powerful explosion, a bright flash in the sky. Then the meteorite hit the Earth caused the comparison with the use of atomic weapons or missile attack.
