in 2032 by the Earth will sweep the giant asteroid almost half a kilometer, which can be dangerous and Chelyabinsk meteorite, and the notorious Apophis. Dangerous Ukrainian astronomer discovered a lump Gennady Borisov.
Ukrainian astronomer Gennady Borisov opened a potentially hazardous asteroid that could collide with Earth in 2032. The discovery was made on October 13, though, as it turned out later, the pictures of the telescope, he appeared in five days earlier.
5 shots of 50 seconds from 00:53 to 01 13 received on the night of 14/15 October 2013. “/> Animation flight near-Earth asteroid 2013 TV135 made on the basis of photographs with a 40-cm f / 8 Telescope Astronomical station” TAU “(Lower Arhiz, KCR, 2060 meters above sea level ) – Remote Support Fund Astronomy Observatory “Ka-Dar» (http://www.ka-dar.ru/tau/). It was the second in the world after the shooting asteroid detection Gennady Borisov in the Crimea. Observers: Mr Gerke, Artem Novichonok. Animation author: Stanislav Short
5 shots of 50 seconds with a 00:53 to 1:13, resulting in a night 14/15 October 2013.
«October 8 Gene discovered asteroid, but because up to this point they were to him not particularly interesting (he is interested in comets), he wanted to ask someone else to process images. A 13th was opened by another object that the processing of data found in the same body, “- said” the Newspaper “Russian amateur astronomer Timur Kryachko that processed the data. Immediately after the discovery, astronomers sent the results to the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union, and the project was given the preliminary designation GB00003.
«This asteroid could hit the Earth in 2106»
Russian amateur astronomers discovered an asteroid with a diameter of 230 meters, which in January 2106 may collide with Earth. ?
After this asteroid observatory “Ka-Dar” Observe astronomer Artyom Novichonok, confirmation came from American and European observers.
«We immediately became clear that this is a potentially dangerous asteroid with a diameter of more than 150 meters, it is the elite class of asteroids, if I may say so,” – said the astronomer. Further observations have refined the orbit parameters and dimensions of a dangerous object.
A day after the first reports on the discovery of the previously unknown asteroid came Electronic Circular IAU Minor Planet Center which reported the assignment of temporary designation 2013 TV135 new near-Earth asteroid.
asteroid is classified as potentially hazardous (PHAs – potentially-hazardous objects), having a brightness above the 22 th of the absolute magnitude and near-Earth at a distance of less than 0.05 astronomical units.
«We immediately became clear that this is a potentially dangerous asteroid with a diameter of more than 150 meters, it is the elite class of asteroids, if I may say so,” – said the astronomer. Further observations have refined the orbit parameters and dimensions of a dangerous object.
known that its orbit lies almost in the plane of the ecliptic is inclined by about 7 degrees, the size of the asteroid is about 410 meters.
However, the main news is that the table of potentially hazardous asteroids open Borisov now stands in first place and painted green.
Meteorite – from the north, the asteroid – from the south
Science department “Gazety.Ru” tells why Chelyabinsk meteorite is not associated with an approaching asteroid to Earth 2012DA14, and the current state of … ?
«Green – those bodies that have the best chance of hitting the Earth in the next 100 years. Its diameter is 400 meters – it’s just a giant asteroid to Earth. Considered dangerous for 150 yards, but after Chelyabinsk, I think, would lower the bar, because it was 10 times smaller, and so was able to mess things up, “- said Kryachko.
According to the degree of dangerasteroid 2013 TV135 far exceeds the famous Apophis, which for many years scare people.
Already today the new asteroid watch a lot of astronomers around the world, and every day the forecast accuracy will increase.
According to the seven days of observations that led astronomers around the world, close encounter with Earth asteroid will occur August 26, 2032. Cob sweep by the Earth at a distance of 4 thousand kilometers at a speed of 15 kilometers per second. In the event of a collision with the Earth energy of the explosion of 2.5 million megatons of TNT (the explosive power of the largest thermonuclear bomb exploded in the Soviet Union, was 50 megatons). To date, experts estimate the probability of a collision of 1/63 000, although further refinement of the orbit that could increase or decrease.
meteorite found behind the cordon
While divers searched Lake meteorite in the polynya Tchebarkul where the police did not allow the scientists, those gathered on Friday of the meteorite from the snow with … ?
«Asteroid unique in that it has a very elongated orbit, it is exactly on the border of Apollo and Amor” – said Kryachko.
According to him, the closer to the Earth, the asteroid hardly comes into its orbit, and the aphelion is located between the orbit of Jupiter and the main asteroid belt.
Gennady Borisov, a graduate of the State Sternberg Astronomical Institute of Moscow State University, is currently a member of the Crimean laborabotii SAI. The asteroid was discovered by him in the course of observations on a short-telescope with a diameter of 20 centimeters in the village of Science, where the laboratory is located.
«In this role he is playing as an amateur. First, he observes on his telescopes, which makes itself, and secondly, these observations are in no way connected with his work “, – said Kryachko.
