Asteroid in the shape of the skull approaches the Earth! Asteroid 2015 TB145 will approach Earth in November 2018. It is a coal-black color and resembles a skull in shape. This is reported by ScienceDaily.
The size of the celestial body is from 625 to 700 meters, the period of rotation is about three hours. "It is very dark, with a reflectivity of a little more than coal," - said a scientist from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia Pablo Santos-Saens. The surface of the asteroid reflects about six percent of sunlight.
The heavenly body is no longer coming to Earth for the first time. He will again fly by in November 2018.
The last time an asteroid swept past our planet in 2015 on the night of October 31. Then the astronomers called it "Halloween." According to the scientists' forecasts, the next approach of the asteroid 2015 TB-145 to the Earth will occur only in 2088.
