Wing space junk impact Earth in November

Scientists report that a piece of space junk impact the Earth at 6:20 UTC on November 13, and will fall into the Indian Ocean about 65 kilometers off the southern tip of Sri Lanka. Nicknamed WT1190F, the curious object was rediscovered this month after scientists had forgotten him, as a result of lost track of its orbit beyond the moon. It is believed that measures between 1 and 2 meters long, and is on a collision course with Earth, presenting a unique opportunity for researchers to observe the entire impact event from start to finish. Detected a few weeks ago by the Catalina Sky Survey, the University of Arizona in the US, WT1190F travels at a highly elliptical orbit, swinging twice farther than the distance from Earth to the Moon, her movements indicate that hollow inside, according to Traci Watson. This means it could be an old piece of space rock. But researchers say it could be a missing piece of space history has come back to us. As a piece of rocket Apollo mission. No impact is expected to meet much of the world's attention, but the scientists involved are certainly grateful for the opportunity to test global networks that are in place to monitor much larger and more threatening cosmic visitors. WT1190F might be the only impact it will have in the near future (we know), but not the only close encounter we can expect in the coming weeks. On October 31, 2015 TB145 asteroid will pass too close to Earth, an event that had not occurred since July 2006. It is easy to forget that our planet is only a small part of a huge solar system incredibly full of asteroids, comets and trash heap. Remember that we are not alone here.
