On July 7^th, the Asteroid HM10 which is 100 meter wide in diameter will pass near Earth at a distance of 44,162 Km. Although this may seem far, in relative terms it is actually fairly close with an LD distance-measured by how many times it would take us to get to the moon- of just 1.1.

The asteroid, almost the size of Gandhi Ground is one of the biggest asteroids among other asteroids that will pass near Earth from 20^th June to 20^th July, as informed by Pacific College of Basic & Applied Science’s director Prof S.N.A Jaffrey, Dr. Mukesh Shrimali and Assistant Prof Rashmi Joshi.

The specialists in Udaipur will witness the asteroid with a 6 inch telescope from 8.30 PM till 4-5 AM in the morning.
