Meteoroids Associated with the Halloween Asteroid "2015 TB145" could Put on a Spooky Meteor Shower (+Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


All eyes are on the “Great Pumpkin” asteroid ahead of its Halloween close approach. Asteroid 2015 TB145 still poses no threat to Earth, but it does continue to deliver some surprises. The latest observations reveal meteoroids associated with the asteroid are unlikely to hit Earth, but, if anything changes, they could put on a show for some skywatchers, particularly in Asia.

The 1,300-foot-wide asteroid 2015 TB145 was discovered less than three weeks ago and will be zoom past Earth at a completely safe distance of approximately 310,000 miles. Without any fear of impact, the asteroid provides an ample opportunity for scientific research, according to NASA. The latest observations indicate asteroid 2015 TB145 may be a dormant comet complete with meteoroids.  http://www.ibtimes.com/halloween-asteroid-2015-tb145-could-include-spooky-meteor-shower-2159013
