On February 8, the asteroid 2007 UY1 will approach the Earth, the diameter of which is 150 meters. This follows from data released by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
It should be noted that according to the international rules of the game of football, the maximum length of the sideline of the field cannot exceed 120 meters, and the goal line - 90 meters. Thus, the dimensions of the celestial body are larger than the dimensions of a football field.
The asteroid, discovered in 2007, will pass Earth at a minimum distance of 5.3 million km.
According to scientists, the probability of UY1 colliding with the Earth is extremely small.
