Asteroids are believed to be about 3,000 feet in diameter. They said it followed the orbital path around the sun. That makes it unlikely that it will get closer than 2 million kilometers from Earth, scientists have said. However, they say it should be considered a dangerous asteroid.


It is said to rotate at the fastest speed of any asteroid that has approached Earth so far. Scientists study sunlight reflected off an asteroid. Thanks to this, scientists study its size, the minerals it contains and its chemical composition.
