Asteroid has a moon

ASTEROID HAS A MOON:

Scientists have been working with NASA’s 230-foot-wide Deep Space Network Antenna at Goldstone in California. They have released the first radar images of the Asteroid 2004 BL86. The image shows that an asteroid had made its closest approach at 8:19 am PST around 745 thousand miles has its own small moon on 26 january 2015. These data was collected by the 20 individual images in the movie at
Goldstone. They have shown that the primary body is approx. 11 hundred feet across and has a small moon approx. 230 feet.The Monday’s report said that the asteroid will take at least next two centuries to finally make on earth. It’s the closest approach to the asteroid. It is also the closet a known asteroid the size will come to Earth until asteroid 1999 AN10 flies past our planet in 2027.
Asteroid 2004 BL86 was discovered on 30th January 2004, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) survey in White Sands, New Mexico.Radar is a powerful technique for studying an asteroid’s size, shape, speed, rotation, surface features and surface roughness and all the improvised calculations of asteroids orbit. It makes even more difficult to think of a time where radar was not a part to perform an asteroid’s calculation.

NASA is the highly prior to track the asteroids, their effects and to improve all the impact and protect our home planet from them. The Headquarters of NASA at Washington manages all the funds for the search, study and monitoring of asteroids, comets, planets and all other things present even in the tiny part of Universe. Aside from monitoring potential threats, the study of asteroids and comets enables a valuable opportunity to learn more about the origins of our

solar system, the source of water on Earth, and even the origin of organic molecules that led to the development of life.
