“Devilish” asteroid, suspiciously similar to a human skull, approaching the earth again. Despite the fact that he will fly near our planet a hundred times further than in the fall of 2015, Journalists and conspiracy theories scare the world community with the coming cataclysm – perhaps even of a mystical nature. Scientists report that already in October of next year the ominous space guest “2015 TB145 “discovered by the Pan-STARRS panoramic telescope is inevitably get closer to us.
Two years ago, a giant space “skull” flew all in 490 thousand kilometers from the Earth. For comparison, the moon is about 384 thousand kilometers from our “blue ball”. IN the moment of closest approach to the Earth an asteroid was visible exclusively in Russia. During its discovery, astronomers have suggested that we are talking about the nucleus of a degenerate comet that has lost most of its volatile substances. For this reason, astronomical the object, they say, does not form a cloud of dust and gas, and also does not have traditional tail. Infrared observations of the celestial body confirmed that the solar system is plowed by a dead comet core.

However, only the radar method allowed world researchers carefully consider the “2015 TB145”. It is worth noting that people of science were seriously puzzled, or maybe even scared, when They realized that something like a huge skull was moving towards us. It is noteworthy that the asteroid with a diameter of about 700 meters turned out to be almost completely black, reflecting only 6% of the him of sunlight. In addition, he mysteriously emits own heat. Despite the fact that scientists are trying to explain the origin of the “skull” is rational, they recognize that it is not yet end understand its nature.
Interestingly, in 2015, “2015 TB145” flew by and now in 2018 will fly near the Earth just at the end of October, that is, in Halloween eve. This is a very funny coincidence, isn’t it? That is why the mysterious asteroid is unofficially called “Halloween”. Next time, the rapprochement of the “skull” with our planet will happen already in 2088, presumably again shortly before All Saints Day. Unless, of course, he will do us trouble in the following year …
