Astronomers have discovered a new asteroid, received the index 2013 EC20, which early in the morning on Saturday, March 9, will fly in 130 thousand kilometers from Earth, on the same day, as previously reported, warming up with our planet 100-meter object 2013 ET. According to data published on the NASA website, asteroid 2013 EC20 was discovered on March 7 by an American asteroid search project “Catalina.” According to scientists, the size of this celestial body is from 3 to 12 meters. At 06.41 Moscow time on March 9, this asteroid flies past the Earth at a distance of 135 thousand kilometers (counting from center of the planet). Later that day, near Earth will fly a much larger object is the asteroid 2013 ET, the size of which ranges from 45 to 140 meters. At 16.09 Moscow time he will fly in 972 thousands of kilometers from the center of our planet or 2.5 times further The moon. Astronomers working on NASA’s Goldstone planetary radar, plan to conduct radio sounding of the asteroid. Already on Friday past A larger asteroid will fly by – 2009 EM1, the size of which ranges from 49-160 meters. However, this “date” will be much less “cramped”: at 22.04 Moscow time it will fly 18 million kilometers from Earth or 48 times further than the moon. In addition, recently scientists discovered the asteroid 2013 ET11 ranging in size from 16 to 49 meters, which is 16 March will fly past the Earth at a distance of 15 times further than the moon, and also 2013 EQ4, ranging in size from 49 to 160 meters, which will fly 1 April at a distance of 27 times further than the moon.

Astronomers working on NASA’s Goldstone planetary radar plan to hold radiosounding of an asteroid. And on Friday past the Earth flies bigger asteroid – 2009 EM1, whose size is from 49-160 meters. However, this “date” will be much less “crowded”: at 22.04 Moscow time it will be located 18 million kilometers from Earth or 48 times farther than the moon. In addition, scientists recently discovered the asteroid 2013 ET11 from 16 to 49 meters in size, which will fly by March 16 Earth at a distance of 15 times further than the moon, as well as 2013 EQ4, from 49 to 160 meters in size, which will fly on April 1 to 27 times farther away from the moon. The hype around a possible the disaster associated with the collision of a planet with a cosmic body, arose after a meteorite explosion over Chelyabinsk. Large car entered into the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 64 thousand kilometers per hour. The space body exploded at an altitude of 19 to 24 kilometers above Ural. The power of the explosion was estimated by NASA, from 300 to 500 kilotons Many were wondering why tracking systems for outer space did not help predict the appearance of meteorite. Experts suggested that the meteorite was coming from The sun, and from the Earth to see such objects is almost impossible. Experts stated the need to create a system of protection against asteroids. “We need to start creating this system now, so that then do not bite your elbows and do not be late with this kind of danger to civilization, “said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. Head of the Laboratory of Meteorics, Doctor Geological and Mineralogical Sciences Mikhail Nazarov previously said “Voice Russia, “that” about such an event, dinosaurs died. “He noted that “dinosaurs could not protect themselves,” and expressed hope that “we will be able to develop some means of protection against the fall of large cosmic bodies. “Some bloggers linking incident in Chelyabinsk with another “space event” – approaching Earth asteroid 2012 DA14, even made conclusions about that soon humanity is waiting for the end of the world, calling prophetic American disaster films. Meanwhile, experts condemned the “mass hysteria” that began after the fall of the meteorite. By scientists say explosions occur every month in the Earth’s atmosphere small fireballs, with an energy of up to 300 tons of TNT, every ten years – About 50 kilotons of TNT. Scientists recall the Kunashak explosion meteorite over Chelyabinsk in 1949, which did not cause fear doomsday.
