Asteroide 2017 EA muy cerca

[MarioCastillo]

Hola,

 

Hoy este asteroide nos pasó muy cerca a 19200 km, 0,05 distancia lunar, velocidad  18,43 km/s, tamaño entre 2 y 4 metros. Es el séptimo  que pasa entre la Tierra y la Luna desde el 9 de enero.

 

Pego  el artículo original que verifiqué en NASA NEO.

 

Saludos!

 

Mario
