An asteroid with its own moon will pass near Earth tonight, according to NASA | New

(FOX CAROLINA) – A very big asteroid with its own little moon is going to overtake Earth tonight.

This lunar-asteroid system, called 1999 KW4, consists of two rocks. The largest is about 1.3 km wide according to NASA and has the shape of a top.

The smaller one is longer and extends 0.57 km (0.55 km) along its largest dimension. It points in the direction of the length towards its much bigger twin.

The two asteroids will be closest to Earth at 19:05 EDT (11:05 GMT), while they will be only 5,182,015 kilometers (5,182,015 km) from the surface of the planet.

It is more than a dozen times the distance between the Earth and the Moon around our planet, and far too far for the space to rock to The two asteroids will pass the closest to Earth at 19:05 EDT (10:05 GMT) ). they will be only 3 219 955 miles (5 182 015 km) from the surface of the planet.
