The asteroid of the death of Halloween will pass in front of our planet next month

This flight will be much less exhilarating, with the rock of 2000 feet (Asteroid 2015 TB145), flying beyond 24 million kilometers of our planet, predicts NASA.

It's about a quarter of the distance from our planet to the sun.

It is thought to be a "dead comet" that has been radically altered in orbit around our star for millions of years and whose width is between 625 and 700 meters.

An asteroid is usually made up of rock or metal, while a comet is made up of ice and rock.

It was thought that the Halloween space rock could have been a comet until the ice evaporated over a long time, which means that it is "dead".

At the beginning of the year, Pablo Santos-Sanz, of the Astrophysical Institute of Andalusia, published an academic article detailing his observations on the subject.

He added that the asteroid of Halloween's death would not be as close to Earth during this year's visit as in 2017. It will zoom in about 24 million kilometers.

"Although this approach is not so favorable, we will be able to obtain new data that could help us better understand this mass and other similar masses close to our planet," the astronomer added.

Thomas G. Müller, researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany and co-author of the study, added: distance of about 20 lunar distances.

Our encounter with the asteroid of Halloween death in 2015 marked the closest approach to an object of this size since 2006.

The next time we will experience such a shave will come in August 2027.
