February 12, 2013 a huge asteroid passed over the Earth “DA-14.” This is a real rock, the size of a 15-story house. The space object was catastrophically close to the surface the planet. In order to see him, powerful telescopes. Many observers used ordinary binoculars. Asteroid with a diameter of 45 meters and a mass of 130,000 tons per pair moments could erase the whole continent from the face of the Earth. Wherein astronomers noticed a cosmic body in just a couple of months, before alleged collision with the planet. It is only in Hollywood films the team astronaut and the military can save humanity from space blocks. In reality, such technologies are not available to us. Neither one army of the world is not able to repel an invasion from outer space. And although in this time an asteroid passed Earth, scientists give a disappointing forecast: in 2060, the DA-14 will return. The chances of salvation are small because there is no effective protection against asteroids. And in In the coming years, such a system is unlikely to appear.
