Asteroids 130m in diameter approaching the Earth is dangerous?

The asteroid is as big as the Statue of Liberty in the United States rushing towards Earth at a speed of about 45,000 km / h.

According to Fox news, the 2010 asteroid WC9 will graze the Earth with a distance of only half the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

Today, May 15 at 22:05 GMT, asteroids will get closer to Earth at a distance of 203,451km.

It is estimated that the asteroid diameter is between 60 and 130 meters. According to experts, this is near the nearest Earth's encounter of an asteroid of this size.

Daniel Bamberger, Northolt Branch Observatory, London, England, said the 2010 WC9 asteroid was discovered in November 2010 but did not see it since December 2010. 8 years later, asteroids complete their orbit and are returning to our planet. On May 15 at 22:05 GMT, asteroids will get closer to Earth at a distance of 203,451km.

Astronomers cannot observe the fact that asteroids close to the Earth with their eyes but still see a bright spot in the sky with a small telescope.

This is the second largest asteroid to reach Earth in recent months. Earlier, in early April, the GE3 2018 asteroid was only discovered a day before it crossed Earth, surprising scientists.
