2015 TB145 or called Super Pumpkin, passed by Earth at a distance of 500 000 km. So the pictures were taken and the star was a look that stuck perfectly with Halloween. In a statement released Friday, October 30 evening, NASA explained that “big space rock will pass close to Earth for Halloween is probably a dead comet, which looks suspiciously like, and timely manner, a skull.” Around 18 pm, October 31, the asteroid grazed the Blue planet without causing inconveniences. Visitors had the opportunity to follow his way and live now are the pictures of this star flooding the Web. It was not visible to the naked eye, but the owners very good telescopes may have had a bit more luck. In a statement, NASA shared some additional elements on this big space rock. According to the space agency, this dead comet looks suspiciously like a skull. Looking at the pictures carefully, you can discover two orbits . Fast Kelly has not failed humor stating that she had “covered a skull costume for his passage” close to the planet. This corresponded very well to the Halloween time. Initially, scientists thought to be facing an asteroid, but recent findings show that they have changed their minds. Finally, 2015TB145 would be more a dead comet and this finding could be made with the FTIR which is the NASA infrared telescope in Hawaii at the top of the old volcano Mauna Kea. The volatile materials are no longer the rendezvous because the comet would have lost over its passage near the Sun. These are fairly close together, because it has a highly elliptical orbit. The distance is less than that observed for Mercury. 2015 TB 145 (also spelled 2015 TB145 ), is a potentially dangerous near-Earth asteroid of the Apollo family measuring between 280 and 620 meters in diameter. It happened at about 1.27 lunar distance from Earth to the , which earned him the nickname “asteroid Halloween” or “Pumpkin” or its variants. Its speed encounter with Earth is 125 500 km / h (35km / s) that NASA calls “abnormally high “. Since 2004 XP14 in July 2006, is the first asteroid absolute magnitude less than twenty passes so close to the Earth; the following, (137108) 1999 YEAR , is expected in August 2027. 2015 TB145 does not revert as close to Earth for many centuries. It will approach our planet no less than 0.2 astronomical unit (30 million kilometers) at least until 2073, when it has a small chance to pass within 0.02 astronomical unit (3000000 kilometers) from Earth. In astronomy, the near-Earth asteroids are moving asteroids near Earth. For the name we often use the abbreviation ACE (standing for Earth-Crossing Asteroids , asteroids crossing the Earth), asteroids whose orbit around the Sun that crosses Earth, with perihelion distance less than that of Mars is 1.381 AU (AU value of 1,300 set by US specialists). géofrôleurs asteroids are called asteroids having a minimum distance to the terrestreinférieure orbit 0,100 AU and PHA those in absolute magnitude H & lt; 22 (more than 130 meters in average diameter) and can move to within 0.05 AU of a circle in the plane of the ecliptic to 1.0 AU from the Sun. The near-Earth asteroids belong to the group of NEOs, which also includes some comets. Some of these objects are likely to impact the Earth, they are the subject of research and special monitoring.
