Asteroid promjera 400 metara pod imenom 2005 YU 55 prohujao je sinoć blizu našeg planeta na opće oduševljenje astronoma.

Nebesko tijelo veličine nosača aviona najbliže Zemlji je bilo u 00.28 sati po srednjoeuropskom vremenu. Tako blizu nije bio nijedan asteroid od 1976. godine.

Asteroid je bio u Mjesečevoj orbiti, otprilike 322 tisuće kilometara iznad Zemlje i nije predstavljao nikakvu opasnost.

Ovo nebesko tijelo nalazi se u orbiti već tisućama godina, a ona ga približava Zemlji, Marsu ili Veneri u redovitim intervalima.

Kreće se brzinom od oko 30,000 km/h, a računalne simulacije njegove putanje pokazuju kako nema izgleda da u narednih sto godina udari u Zemlju ili Mjesec.
