Look up! A potentially hazardous asteroid, at least 20 times the size of the Chelyabinsk meteorite, will pass (relatively) close to Earth on January 26 and should be visible to those with even small telescopes. The asteroid, named 2004 BL86, is estimated to be between 440-1,000 meters in diameter. 1.2 million kilometers is approximately three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. According to astronomers, there is no threat of the object colliding with our planet. rt/news/219879-potentially-dangerous-asteroid-earth/
