NASA's Asteroid 2019 CN2 (click here) determines the asteroid today. Earth's close approach. NASA's astronomers have narrowed the course just before 11 days of GMT (UTC), and the uncertainty is about four minutes. As NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California varies, Asteroid CN2 estimates that it is almost losing ground between Earth and Moon. The incredibly close flyby comes exactly one week after JPL first discovered the space rock in its radar.
According to NASA Research Center, Asteroid CN2 was first detected on Monday, February 4, 2019.
NASA has since calculated that the orbit of space rock has been defined as CN2 approaches the country at least after October 1901.
This is because the asteroid is so-called. Middle Earth Object – An asteroid or comet on an orbit that crosses the Earth.
NASA explained: “NEO targets are comets and asteroids that have been hidden by the attraction of nearby planets to orbit....

The 2019 PDC Hypothetical Asteroid Impact Scenario (click here)
February 11, 2019
By Sebastian Kettley
TWO monstrous asteroids (click here) will barrel past the planet within hours of one another tomorrow, NASA’s asteroid trackers have revealed.
Both asteroids are expected to make a so-called “Earth Close Approach” on Tuesday, February 12. The first of the two space rocks, Asteroid 2019 CY2, will zip by in the wee morning hours around 3.34am GMT (UTC). Asteroid 2017 PV25 will follow soon after, shooting past our home world around 12.42pm GMT. Neither of the two rocks will slam into the planet but their near-miss trajectories are being keenly monitored by NASA’s asteroid-tracking systems.
Asteroid CY2 is the smaller and faster of the two space rocks and is also the most recently discovered one....
