Asteroid 2012 DA14 – Earth Flyby Reality Check





Small near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass very close to Earth on Feb. 15, so close that it will pass inside the ring of geosynchronous weather and communications satellites NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office can accurately predict the asteroid's path with the observations obtained, and it is therefore known that there is no chance that the asteroid might be on a collision course with earth.

  1. Hello Eric,

    This is Mr. Ronelus. This is a great post. Keep up the good work. I would like you to start thinking about an energy project you would like to work on. As you know, all members of the science club are focusing on an alternative energy project.

    Mr. Ronelus
