The maximum speed of the flying asteroid YM6 is 50,000 kilometers per hour, NASA said.
On Saturday, July 31, asteroid YM6 will fly by at a distance of four million kilometers from Earth. Its diameter is about 128 meters. About this on Thursday, July 29, reported at the American space agency NASA.
“Despite the fact that computer analysis qualifies the object as an ‘asteroid near the Earth’, it is not potentially dangerous,” the experts reassured.
YM6 2019 is known to orbit the Sun in 401 days.
This asteroid already flew past the Earth on January 28, 2020, but at a distance of more than 25,000,000 kilometers.
After the current “meeting”, the next time it will approach the planet on January 27, 2031 at about the same distance (6.5 million km), and then – only in 2100.
We will remind, the Chinese authorities announced creation of a space fleet to ensure the elimination of the asteroid threat to the Earth.
