“ASTEROID TX68 is LOST in SPACE” most probably it will Pass Undetected – NASA NEW UPDATE – YouTube

       

Looking at NASA’s new update you can obviously realize that TX68 IS LOST IN SPACE.
Asteroid TX68 is coming from our planet’s “blind spot” – the space directly between the Earth and the Sun – and we can only see it after it passes.

ITS CLOSEST APPROACH IS STILL AN ENIGMA. STILL SO MANY UNCERTAINTIES.

NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office can’t accurately predict the path of the near-Earth asteroid 2013 TX68.

The asteroid Discovered on October 6, 2013 by the Catalina Sky Survey. Although its size is not well determined, this near-Earth asteroid is thought to be about 45 meters in diameter.

Asteroid 2013 TX68 will pass inside the geosynchronous satellite ring, located about 35,800 km above the equator. Its orbit about the sun can bring it no closer to the Earth’s surface than 2.9 Earth radii on March 8th.

On this date, the asteroid will travel rapidly above our skies and it will achieve a magnitude of less than seven, which is somewhat fainter than naked eye visibility. If you have a pair of binoculars and you know where to look you can observe the asteroid passing by Earth.

If it were ever to impact Earth it would likely create a large fireball in the sky and possibly an impact ctater 100-575 meters
(328-1,886 ft) across, assuming an impact angle of less than 45 degrees.
