The sensationalist media focus only on attracting attention every time a large asteroid passes relatively close to us, there are very exciting topics in the world of asteroids.
Although today, January 25, we will not have any asteroids that pass within the radius of 7.5 million kilometers from the earth that is like the security sphere of our planet, in fact there are no notable asteroids between now and the end of the month.
They are all small asteroids and will pass very far, the largest has already passed on 272 which is 84 to 190 meters in diameter, it passed yesterday on the 24th at a little more than 7 million 7.1 million kilometers from us and the one that will pass closest it is 2022 bb which is very small it is only 11 to 25 meters and it will also pass quite far more than twice the distance that separates the earth from the moon so it is something that some surprise occurs some asteroid that has not been identified we are going to have a very boring end of the month for the study of asteroids.
However, remember the asteroid 1994 PC1 that some media got confused and said that it was more than 1000 kilometers in diameter when in reality it is only 1000 meters in diameter, because that is the asteroid in second by size what is going to happen this year close to us, close to within that margin of 7.5 million kilometers away, it passed one million nine hundred thousand kilometers and the Russian agency Roscósmos has obtained images of it.
It is that little dot that appears in the image moving, so that you can see how difficult it is to capture an asteroid even one kilometer in diameter and even for an astronomical observatory such as those that manage Roscosmos, although I personally hope that they end up publishing radar images that are usually be far more impressive and in more detail.
