On Saturday, December 16, near the planet, will fly a huge meteorite called the Phaeton.

About it reports “Rus.Media”, citing the press service of the Us space Agency (NASA).

It should be noted that in addition to Land, the Phaeton will fly orbits of three other planets in the Solar system: mercury, Venus and Mars. The object is quite large – its diameter is about 5 km, making it “potentially dangerous” for our planet, as in a collision will cause enormous harm.

Fortunately, the Phaeton will fly far enough from Earth – 10 million miles, which is 27 times the distance from earth to the moon.

It is worth noting that a meteorite will come back to Earth soon, this convergence will only happen in 2093 year.
