By NASA has announced that other large asteroids will approach the earth, relatively, during space travel. The heavenly body is being monitored under the center of the body of the body of the body (NEO), who identifies and tracks large spaces that have the potential to pose a threat to our planet. Fortunately, and with close flying events, NASA said we didn’t need to worry.
Asteroids are scheduled to soar through the Earth on January 18 called “7482 (1994 PC1),” and it will run at blistering speed of around 47,000 mph, according to NASA. As the name suggests, this asteroid was first discovered in 1994 (through space references); It is classified as an object near the earth and NASA consider it dangerous because of the trajectory, which allows it to pass relatively close to our planet.
Even though the asteroid is an object near the earth, it will only get around 1.2 million miles from the earth. It was a very large distance – though, in a period of time, it was considered a fly-by close. Experts believe the asteroid will not hit the earth when approaching next week, and it will be around 200 years before Rock Space returns for another bait.
Knowing the asteroids will not have an impact on the earth and trigger the chain of events that are completely steered, there are some good news about this special flyby: You will be able to see the event, assuming you have a telescope and the weather in your area is profitable.
Earthsky reports that small telescopes must be enough to observe asteroids when passing through the earth. The difficult part is that the telescope must be positioned only in the right place when the asteroid passes, plus the sky must be clear. The right time to look for asteroids depends on your location.
The report states that for those located in North America, the best time to see asteroids may be around 10pm Est on January 18. Amateur astronomers are advised to appoint their telescope at Hip 7011 Star, then wait a few minutes and wait a few minutes and watch carefully asteroids to pass very close to stars.
Attaching the camera to the telescope and capturing long exposure can also be useful, because it will record any track through the field of view when the shutter is open. However, there is a potential arrest, namely visibility will depend on the weather – if it is cloudy in your area when the asteroid passes, you might not be able to watch it for yourself.
