An asteroid three times the size of a football field traveling 27,000 miles per hour is about to pass close to Earth and you can watch live on the Internet.
Astronomers have announced that the "unsafe" object - known as the NEA 2000 EM26, will pass near us about 0.018 AU from Earth on February 17. Now, although 0.018 AU (Astronomical Unit) may appear small, it is quite far, in fact, it is more than 2.6 million kilometers.
So there is no reason to panic. Instead you can sit and watch the big rock move, thanks to the cameras http://slooh.com/(or iPad application) which are directed towards the right part of the sky above the Canary Islands. Slooh regularly monitors hazardous asteroids that have the potential to cause significant damage if they were to hit the Earth.
Their work has a secondary objective to raise awareness about the dangers of asteroids and recruit members of the public to help sweep the sky with robotic telescopes Slooh. Passing 2000 EM26 comes almost a year after an asteroid 30 meters in diameter exploded over Chelyabinsk Russia, injuring more than 1,000 people.
