This asteroid is very exciting. Because this is the last opportunity we have to observe the asteroid by the Gemini Observatory before year 2.
According to RCO News Agency, It is an asteroid that has been announced in year 2, as this space stone, called the YR2 asteroid, is likely to collide with Earth in year 2.
According to Space, for clear reasons, astronomers have no hope of being able to get information about the asteroid of YR3, which reaches 2 feet (2 meters wide).
The image presented here was recorded on February 7th by a 2.5 -meter South Jena Telescope in an Andes Chile. At the time of this image, the asteroid was about 2 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth and about 2 million miles (2 million kilometers) from the sun.
“I see this asteroid very exciting,” says Bryce Bolin, an astronomer at the NASA Space Flight Center. Not only because of its defamation, but also because of the scientific potential of studying such a small asteroid with detail.
Only a few asteroids have been studied in this way.
“We took 2 -second images at the infrared wavelength and tracked the asteroid movement to obtain these images,” explained. Observations were difficult for three reasons; First, the asteroid was dim and needed to use large telescopes to observe.
The second problem is the fact that the YR2 was observed when the moon had a 5 % brightness, meaning that there was a significant increase in the backlight of the sky compared to ordinary darker conditions. This makes it more challenging to distinguish such dim and distinction.
Finally, the asteroid moves at a speed of 1.5 seconds per minute, with a precise tracking with South Jina.
This is not the first image of the asteroid ۱۲۲۴. The asteroid was first discovered by NASA on December 5 by NASA on December 5.
Immediately after the discovery, the asteroid reached the top of the NASA CNEOS Risk Risk Table. This asteroid has remained there since then, but it is expected to decline soon with a better understanding of the asteroid’s orbit.
Bolin explained that the YT 6 seems to be fading by mid -March and it is very difficult to detect it from the ground. This asteroid will be visible in the mid -year as the Earth re -approaches the ground telescopes.
“So this is the last opportunity we have to observe asteroids by Jamaya before year 2,” Bulin said.
Space telescopes may be better able to track this space rock by that time. The James Webb space telescope (JWST) is due to join the search in March this year.
