An asteroid, only discovered on Saturday, will be passing uncomfortably close to Earth on Monday, Oct. 27, as reported in an article published by Science 2.0 on Oct. 26. The asteroid, designated as 2014 UF56 by NASA, is about the size of a small house and would do considerable damage if it struck the planet. Apparently, the chances of that happening are small, but, considering this object has only been known of for a few days, it's possible there hasn't been enough time to ensure it will pass safely.
The event is significant enough to warrant a live broadcast by The Virtual Telescope Project, which will be tracking the space rock's progress as it nears Earth, using remotely controlled telescopes situated all around the planet and connected online.
The closest pass to the planet will occur about noon Pacific Time on Monday. The big question is, how sure is NASA that asteroid 2014 UF56 is harmless?
Considering the explosion of the meteor over Chelyabinsk, Russia in February, 2013, it's obvious that even such a relatively small space rock is capable of significant damage. And, that meteor was undiscovered by sky watchers charged with the task before it hit the atmosphere. What assurances are there that this latest asteroid, or any other, will not have a similar impact, or even worse?
Prior to the comet Siding Spring passing close to Mars last week (and causing a massive explosion in the planet's atmosphere) it was reported that the Australian observatory which originally discovered the comet is closing down. The closure leaves a gaping hole in the sky watch program, leaving the southern hemisphere largely unmonitored.
Comet Siding Spring passed within 90,000 miles of Mars, while this latest asteroid is reported as passing Earth at about twice that distance, or a little over 160,000 miles. That leaves open the possibility that asteroid 2014 UF56 could have a similar effect on Earth's atmosphere. It means this space rock doesn't even have to hit the Earth for it to do considerable damage.
All eyes will be on the asteroid as it makes its pass on Monday, with many breathing a sigh of relief if all goes smoothly. But, as has been witnessed before, such a close pass to the Earth can still be fraught with danger. What do you think? Is this new asteroid cause for concern? Should NASA and other space agencies be closing sky watch stations? Please leave a comment below.
