It was about 15 meters in size,\u201d\u00a0Vladimir Lipunov of the Moscow State University and the Sternberg Astronomical Institute indicated.<\/p>\n<p>Lipunov also pointed out his team had notified the International Astronomical Union of their discovery, but it is yet to be confirmed, RIA Novosti news agency reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian astronomers stated that the asteroid has disappeared now.<\/p>\n<p>The scientists also considered the possibility of this asteroid being space debris: a launch-vehicle stage or a piece of an unmanned Mars explorer. Its trajectory was detected to pass near Mars. However, the search in the space debris catalogue shed no light.<\/p>\n<p>It comes less than a year after a meteorite exploded above the city of Chelyabinsk in the Urals. It weighed 10,000 tons prior to the blast, the scientists indicated.<\/p>\n<p>About 1,500 people were injured in the explosion, most of them from the shockwave that broke glass.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next century, astronomers predict many asteroids will pass Earth, with the closest near-miss expected in April 2029. 99942 Apophis is set to pass 38.5km from Earth, at a speed of 7.33km per second.<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15 meter Asteroid deteckted Earth over the weekend, according to Russian scientists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":702,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,80,63,17,1,118,167,14],"tags":[9648,59259,59256,59257,59258],"class_list":["post-43354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-america","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-europe","category-general","category-hot","category-technology","category-world","tag-asteroid","tag-asteroid-detected-russian-scientists","tag-asteroid-planet-earth","tag-asteroid-reported-by-russians","tag-dangerous-asteroid-earth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43354\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
