On the night of May 31 to June 1, the space “wanderer” flew past our planet
Nizhny Novgorod Sergey Tereshko on the night when spring gave way in the summer, it was possible to remove a fire trail in the sky over a mobile phone Kiev, left by a huge asteroid. This event Sergey поделился с “Комсомолкой” в Нижнем”. – ЯI’m staying with relatives in Ukraine now, ”says Sergey. – On the afternoon of May 31, everyone was talking about flying past Earth at night. some asteroid, but at what time no one mentioned. I decided to see on this. I had to wait almost three hours. At nine in the evening on the roof five-story building climbed, and at almost midnight a spot such a red appeared in the sky. Maybe that spot was the same asteroid 1998 QE2, whose appearance was predicted by NASA scientists on the night of June 1? -The celestial body approached the Earth by 5.8 million kilometers, – American astronomers reported the next day. – It’s about 200 times the distance the asteroid is in this February, flying to a record close distance to our planet. In this case, many questions arise. For instance, as you could see in the starry sky an asteroid that flies so far? Maybe what Sergey saw was not an asteroid at all? What then? I will have to turn to specialists for clarification.
