According to scientists, the diameter of the asteroid ranges from 430 to 960 meters, and the speed of the object is 14.25 kilometers per second.
Prior to that, at the Institute of Applied Mathematics. MV Keldysh RAS reportedIn mid-June, two potentially dangerous large asteroids – (488453) 1994 XD and 2020 DB5 – were approaching Earth.
It is stated that the dimensions of the asteroids are between 400 and 800 meters.
1994 XD passed Earth at a distance of 3.2 million km (8 times farther from the Moon) on June 12. 2020 DB5 passed Earth at 11 times the distance of the Moon on June 15.
