An asteroid Vesta is visible by naked eye in the night, from both northern and southern hemisphere. According to the scientist, the size of the asteroid is three times the size of UK.

 

 

The asteroid measures more than 310 square miles (800,000 square kilometers) in size, which is 50 times wider than the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.

The asteroid is said to be named as 4 Vesta, or commonly Vesta. Because of its size, which is so huge and is so bright, it is visible through naked eyes. Even though its 106 million miles away.

It can be seen in the night sky close to Mars, Saturn and the Sagittarius constellation.

Nasa has said that there is no way that Asteroid is coming even close to earth.

Vesta is named after the goddess of the hearth and household in Roman mythology.

 

 

The asteroid is one of the largest known to humankind and currently resides in the asteroid belt.

It will appear in the night sky as a faint yellow dot.

According to the scientist, the asteroid will be a lot more easier to spot as the surface of this asteroid reflects more light than any rock present in the space. Which gives it really bright look when looking from Earth.

It is said to be visible through naked eye during the time period of July 16 to 17.

Yesterday (Wednesday, June 27) Vesta sits to the east of the planet Saturn which is currently at opposition to the sun in the southern sky. Over the next few days, Vesta will decline towards the southeast at a declination of -20° 18’ 02”.The trajectory will see Vesta move towards the lower end of the constellation Ophicus by June 29. Asteroid Vesta is estimated to hold about nine percent of all the mass contained in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

 

Well, we are happy that the asteroid isn’t coming anywhere near eath, or else it could be disastrous. However, the view from earth when it will be visible is said to be amazing. It’s going to be a bright yellow glow in the sky which will be a lot different from anything else.
