The European Space Agency has announced that scientists have discovered that asteroid 2015 RN35 is flying towards Earth.
The agency’s statement said, “Asteroid 2015 RN35 is relatively large and will be flying close to Earth, so amateur astronomers can track it.”
The Daily Express newspaper indicates that the diameter of this asteroid reaches 140 meters and will approach the Earth at a distance of 680,000 km, therefore it does not pose any danger to humanity in the near future. British journalists have dubbed 2015 RN35 “the Christmas asteroid”.
It will be possible to observe the asteroid from 15 to 17 December and in Europe until 19 December.
