Scientists have warned the inhabitants of the Earth, including Belarusians, about a potential, previously unheard of, danger.
According to their data, a giant asteroid known as a “planet killer” is approaching the “blue ball”.
Very soon, on June 27, this cosmic body will fly in close proximity to the Earth,writes MIA "Russia Today" with reference to Live Science.
Scientists have calculated that asteroid 2011 UL21 will fly only 6.6 million kilometers from our planet on that day.
In the last 110 years, nothing of this kind of space object has come closer to the home of earthlings.
At this distance, NASA considers it a potentially hazardous object, Live Science reports.
The size of the "planet killer" is comparable to the size of a mountain. The asteroid will fly past the Earth at a speed of about 93,000 km/h.
Experts say it is one of the largest space rocks to have approached Earth in the last 125 years.
Earlier, scientists told what happens to a person in the last moments of life.
