'Sky stone' just fly close to earth

An asteroid about 10 meters in diameter flying just above the Southern Ocean yesterday.

Agency Aerospace America (NASA) announced that scientists discovered asteroid 2013 LR6 exactly one day before they fly close to the Southern Ocean, off the coast of Tasmania, Australia yesterday at 4h42 GMT (11h42 by Hanoi time), Reuters reported. At that time, the asteroid of about 104,000 km from Earth - by quarter the distance between Earth and the moon.

Since 2013 LR6 diameter of about 10 m, it is not the threat to the Earth.

A week ago, QE2 - an asteroid with a diameter of 2,700 m - with its satellite flew about 5.8 million km from Earth km.Ngay 15/2, a meteorite exploded and crashed into Russia's Chelyabinsk region that more than 1,500 people were injured by the broken glass.

NASA has said that they have found about 95% of large asteroids (diameter of 1,000 m or more) near earth.

"Theoretically, the possibility of collision between the asteroid and the Earth exists," astronomer Gianluca Masi, an expert of the Virtual Telescope Project, said. In the Virtual Telescope Project, Astronomy lovers can observe the spectacle of meteors fly close to earth through the Google+ service.
