According to a statement by NASA, the asteroid It will be closer to the Earth than the orbit of satellites, which are about 36,000 km from the surface of the Earth.
The agency noted that the size of the asteroid called (2020 SW) is the size of a small school bus, ranging from 5 to 10 meters in width.
The asteroid will approach Earth at 4:12 a.m. Pacific Time, and the asteroid will continue its journey around the sun, and it will not return to Earth’s vicinity until 2041, when it will fly much farther away.
The asteroid 2020 SW was discovered on September 18, and follow-up observations of its orbital path were confirmed with high accuracy, as a collision with Earth was ruled out.
The space agency said that "although asteroid Not on a collision course with Earth, except that if it were, it is almost certain that space rocks would disintegrate into the atmosphere, becoming a bright meteorite known as a fireball".
Although the passage of the small planet will not be visible with the naked eye, people with 12-inch telescopes will be able to see it.
It is reported that on August 20, an asteroid transited the closest flight to the surface of Earth ever recorded to an asteroid, and at that time, NASA admitted that it did not observe the asteroid until after it passed.
