Asteroids speeding more than 32,000km / h are about to break through the Earth
2016 NF23, asteroid with an estimated diameter of 70-160m is about to fly close to Earth, Mirror reports. It does not collide but will cross over 5 million km from the green planet on August 29, according to NASA.
Asteroids belonging to the "potentially dangerous" group will arrive about 5 million kilometers from Earth by the end of August.

2016 NF23, asteroid with an estimated diameter of 70-160m is about to fly close to Earth, Mirror reports. It does not collide but will cross over 5 million km from the green planet on August 29, according to NASA.
This asteroid is moving at about 32,500 km / h and is classified as "potentially dangerous". Asteroids approaching Earth within 7.48 million km with a diameter greater than 150 m are classified in this group. If they crash into Earth, they can destroy an entire city and cause millions to die.
2016 NF23 "visit" T Otai just a few weeks later. This asteroid grazes 203,000km, about half the distance from the Earth to the Moon, on May 15. According to astronomers, this is the closest approach for 2010 WC9 in the next 300 years.
