Chances are 1 in 300 if the 400-meter sized asteroid will hit Earth in the year 2029 but may be missed if the scientists managed to obtain additional data about its orbit.
Until now the asteroid is named Asteroid 2004 MN4 is rather difficult to observe. “The Torino Scale Collision strength used by astronomers about the possibility of collision with Earth, the asteroid was scored 2 out of 10″, said Donald Yeomans of the program manager of the Near Earth Object part of the propulsion system NASA Laboratory in Pasadena.
But there is no asteroid has ever scored more than one. On the day Friday, April 13, 2029, “we can not predict it,” said Yeoman again. The asteroid was discovered first time in June and look again at this month.
If this asteroid hit the Earth at sea would cause a tsunami, while on the mainland would cause great damage. Potential size of the 600 megaton explosion.
According to the present Yeoman asteroids that takes less than a year to evolve around the Sun has been observed from 40th place on Earth. First kalinua at Kitt Peak Observatory and this month from Australia and New Zealand.
