Mimo Zemlje je sinoči letel asteroid, širok en kilometer. Za opazovanje s prostim očesom je bil sicer pretemen, a so si ga nekateri ogledali skozi teleskop.
Sinoči je mimo Zemlje letel asteroid, ki so ga poimenovali (7482) 1994 PC1. Širok je en kilometer in spada med večje prebivalce našega Osončja. Asteroid je večji od najvišje stavbe Burdž Kalife v Dubaju in je velik skoraj kot dva dva Empire State Buildinga iz New Yorka.
NEWS 🚨: On Jan. 18 an asteroid twice the size of the Empire State Building will zoom by Earth safely at about 1.2 million miles (5x the moon distance)

Asteroid je bil sicer pretemen, da bi ga lahko opazovali s prostimi očmi ali daljnogledom. V Maleziji je astronomom pri opazovanju zagodlo še nekoliko oblačno vreme, a jim ga je kljub temu uspelo posneti.
Asteroid (7482) 1994 PC1 caught on tape just now. 18 Jan 2022 12:45-12:52 UTC from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Cloudy condition makes it a bit hard for a clean view but the asteroid is bright enough to be easily seen on CCD. #1994PC1 pic.twitter.com/mPPp2sUKHl

Ko so posnetek nekoliko očistili, se asteroid lažje vidi.
Managed to clean up the original files.

Wow! Asteroid #1994PC1 is moving REALLY FAST! Watching it right now from Kuala Lumpur. This was taken 1 min exposure, FOV about 1.5 deg, and it's already trailing away! pic.twitter.com/CbZOS1OnOL

Okoli 8. ure zvečer pa je asteroid posnel tudi projekt virtualnega teleskopa.

Od Zemlje je bil asteroid oddaljen dva milijona kilometrov, kar je približno petkratnik razdalje med Zemljo in Luno. Tako velik asteroid, kot je ta, ki bo v torek v naši bližini, na Zemljo pade enkrat na šeststo tisoč let, kar pomeni, da se nam bližnjega srečanja z njim ni treba bati, je v pogovoru za N1 pojasnil astronom Jure Japelj. Z objavo pa je pomirila tudi ameriška vesoljska agencija Nasa in zapisala, da v prihodnjih 100 letih ni nobene znane grožnje padca asteroida.
FACT: There is no known threat from any asteroid for at least the next 100 years.
