Scientists from the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Tucson, Arizona, have discovered an asteroid that is predicted to enter the airspace over Yakutia around 19:17 Moscow time. This was reported by the International Meteor Organization and the European Space Agency .
The European Space Agency said in a statement that the diameter of the asteroid will be about 70 centimeters. “The collision will be harmless and will likely cause a beautiful fireball in the skies over northern Siberia,” the agency said.

The International Meteor Organization added that this is the 11th asteroid that was discovered before it entered the Earth's atmosphere. They also said that the asteroid should not harm the planet, and noted that the probable impact site of the object is four hours from the site of the Tunguska meteorite.
The organization's press release also said that this is the fourth asteroid spotted this year that was predicted to collide with Earth. One of them collided with the planet in September of this year over the South Pacific Ocean, another flew over Berlin in January, and the third burned up over the Pacific Ocean in October of this year.

In September of this year, NASA warned that an asteroid the size of a football stadium was approaching Earth. Then scientists assured that the object would fly past the Earth and would not collide with the planet, but researchers were concerned about its speed, which turned out to be 26 times higher than the speed of sound.
This summer it became known that Chinese scientists proposed using nuclear weapons to protect against asteroids. They stated that the risk of the planet colliding with large objects is quite high, and cited as an example a meteorite that fell in the Chelyabinsk region near Lake Chebakul on February 15, 2013.
