On the Internet, the Internet has recently been re-injected. tension due to the asteroid codenamed QV89 which in September of this year, as astronomers discovered back in 2006, must pass at a fairly close and dangerous distance from the Earth, which does not exclude the collision of this cosmic body with our the planet.
In 2006, the asteroid QV89 was first noticed by astronomers. European Space Agency who watched it in for several days, due to which his path of movement was calculated and predicted a possible collision with the Earth in September 2019. Moreover, then scientists even specified the day of the disaster – 9 September
It was really about a possible disaster, because the asteroid was a huge rock (that’s how it was described then media) about 50 meters in diameter. With the approach collision dates of the 2006 QV89 asteroid with Earth, astronomers, understandable case, began to look for him in the near outer space from of our planet and … didn’t even find any similar cosmic body. The asteroid block disappeared after ESA experts studied it 13 years ago, but never showed up more on the garrison of astronomical observation. But … potential danger haunts scientists.

ESA Specialists with European Southern Workers observatories today are exploring every possible corner of our solar systems where the insidious asteroid can “hide”. But … so far no results. Chile’s largest telescope (VLT) didn’t give anything – the asteroid QV89 just disappeared, although according to calculations that, by the way, let’s say, pretty accurate, should be on the way to The earth.
According to scientists, the probability of this dangerous flight the cosmic body to the Earth still remains, especially since such large asteroid (for comparison: Chelyabinsk was three times smaller) poses a certain hazard, which needs at least least know. Although this is in any case not a planetary disaster scale, which, for example, brought an asteroid of 10 kilometers in diameter, which destroyed at one time on Earth all dinosaurs.
