NASA scientists published the first picture of the approaching to land a giant asteroid. Upon receipt of the images, scientists have noticed in the middle of the dark areas of the asteroid, which, according to the astronomers, may be followed by an impact crater.

Researchers at NASA published a picture of a giant asteroid that closer our planet on Halloween. This facility opened American automatic Pan-STARRS in Hawaii.

This information was reported by the official website of NASA, – the “Russian Conversation”.

After studying the images, the researchers said that in the center of the asteroid are dark spots.

According to the scientists, this may be a crater, resulting in a collision with another space object.

The diameter of the celestial body reaches 600 meters. Experts pointed out that the size of the cosmic body was larger than previously estimated.

At 20:00 Moscow time, a heavenly body will be at a distance of 486,000 kilometers from the Earth’s surface.

It is worth noting that the asteroid is moving toward the Earth at a speed of 35 kilometers per second.

Напомним, former NASA scientists their statements shocked the world.

NASA scientists warned the world community that the Earth is expected shortly custom cosmic phenomenon.

The American experts said that from November 15 of the current year planet earth two weeks will be a solid night.

With such an outlook, in particular, made the head of the National Directorate of aeronautics and Space Charles Bolden.

According to the scientists, this is an unusual event remind all the experience of living in Alaska. The cause of this cosmic phenomenon will overlap Venus and Jupiter.

Earlier, NASA published a panorama of the dunes of Mars created by the rover Curiosity.

With the help of one of its imaging systems – mastcam, rover 27 August removed neighborhood in Mount Sharp.

Sharp – one of the mountains Mars is in the crater Gale. The height of the mountain is approximately 5 kilometers. Presumably, the mountain was formed from the lake to dry up and re-filled with water for millions of years.

In the area of ​​Gale crater the rover Curiosity is two years. There he conducts geological and geochemical studies, studying the atmosphere and climate of the planet, looking for water or traces of her presence of organic matter.

This information will help to find out whether there is in the world a place fit for life.
