Meteor visible until midnight


Band of Brothers

Recommended Posts

An asteroid as large as an Olympic swimming pool has raced past the Earth at a distance of just 27,700km (17,200mi) - the closest ever predicted for an object of that size.

It passed far closer even than the geosynchronous satellites that orbit the Earth, but there was no risk of impacts or collisions.

Its closest approach was at 19:25 GMT.

For regions in darkness, it should remain visible until about midnight through good binoculars or a telescope.

Just incase anyone was panicking and thinking it was there last day on earth.

Wrong place can admin move shit sorry lol.
