A flying asteroid between Earth and Moon

On August 9, scientists said, the 2013 PS12 asteroid is flying between the Earth and the Moon at an equal distance, in which the diameter of the celestial body is determined from 5-19m.

At 5:23 (GMT) on 9/8 this asteroid will fly over Earth with a distance of 203,700km, equivalent to 0.53 times the Moon's orbit.

Meanwhile, the morning of 4/8 of the 2013 PJ10 giant asteroid, about 31-70m in diameter, passed through the Earth and was 371,400km from Earth, equivalent to 0.96 times the Moon's orbit.

Currently, scientists have found hundreds of thousands of asteroids flying around the solar system. On that basis, in early 2013, scientists calculated 97.8 million asteroids, of which 600,853 asteroids have identified orbits and have been given official numbers.

Scientists predict that 1.1-1.9 million asteroids are about 1 km in the solar system. At this time, most asteroids are concentrated in the middle of two asteroids between Mars and Jupiter orbits.
