Discovered in 1898 by Auguste Charlois and Carl Gustav Witt and measuring 16,89 km in diameter, this celestial object has been studied for a long time.\u00a0In 2001, NASA\u2019s NEAR Shoemaker mission allowed a probe to orbit and land on this asteroid for the first time in order to study it.\u00a0And that&#8217;s not all, because more than 160,000 images were taken, revealing a surface dotted with craters.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Since then, numerous studies have been conducted on this celestial object resembling a peanut, and it also serves as a reference for new discoveries in order to understand the behavior of various asteroids, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/These-Martian-probes-captured-an-event-that-no-one-else-saw.1136295.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">3I\/ATLAS<\/a>.\u00a0And tonight, it will pass about 60 million kilometers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Europa-Clipper-captures-an-impressive-image-of-Uranus-at-more-than-3-2-billion-kilometers.1169523.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">from Earth<\/a>, which is small compared to the size of the universe, and you can watch this event live.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">A live broadcast will be available starting at 20:00 UTC, and you will be able to see a white dot moving next to the Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years from Earth.
