Asteroid 2012 LZ1 won't hit Earth for 750 years

[zigzag3143]

Asteroid 2012 LZ1 - discovered on June 12 - was recently classified as potentially hazardous by the Minor Planet Center because its preliminary orbit brings it close to Earth (within 20 lunar distances).


Astronomers have now determined that LZ1 is twice as large as originally estimated based on its brightness, and large enough to have serious global consequences if it were to hit the Earth.
