This skull-shaped comet that grazed the Earth for Halloween! – Afrik.com

A huge space object that has come close to Earth Saturday, the day of the Halloween party, is probably a dead comet strangely resembling a head … dead.

Two dark cavities for eyes, a round hole in the nose dug on a whitish shape shaped skull is the photo released by NASA. This is the huge space object that has come close to Earth Saturday, the day of the Halloween party, which, according to NASA, is probably a dead comet strangely resembling a skull.

In a statement, NASA says “big space rock passed close to Earth for Halloween is probably a dead comet, which looks suspiciously like, and timely manner, a skull.” Kelly Fast, NASA scientist quoted in the press, goes further confident that “it looks like she has put on a skull costume for his passage (near the Earth) for Halloween.”

When they detected the object, in early October, astronomers had first thought it was an asteroid and they called Asteroid 2015 TB145. This is best observed after using the infrared telescope NASA positioned in Hawaii they have determined that it is most probably a dead comet that lost its volatile materials after many passages around the Sun. .

Fortunately no space object collided with Earth since remained at about 486,000 kilometers, 1.3 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.
