At the minimum distance to the planet, it will come November in 2018. According to ScienceDaily, according to preliminary data, the size of the asteroid is from 625 to 700 meters.

Its rotation period is about three hours. At the same time, its surface reflects only about six percent of sunlight.

At the same time, according to the scientists' forecasts, the next approach of the asteroid 2015 TB-145 to our planet will occur only in 2088.

Let us recall that the previous approach of an asteroid to the Earth occurred in October 2015. Then the heavenly body flew from our planet at a distance of only 1.3 distances from Earth to the Moon. Next year it will fly a little further from us.

As reported URA-Inform, September 1, 2017 a huge asteroid Florence flew in seven million kilometers from Earth. Then NASA noted that so close to the Earth so large asteroids have not yet approached.
