asteroid 2011 md

Yesterday 27th June an asteroid which size is tour bus is zipped by earth. Asteroid in a flyby so close that the space rock was nearer to the planet than some satellites, giving sky-watchers and astronomers a tantalizing target for photos. Asteroid is called space rock. The asteroid is reached its closest point to Earth just after 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT), when it crept within 7,500 miles (12,000 km) of Earth before whipping away again like a slingshot. The asteroid was flying over the southern Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Antarctica, at the time of its closest approach.

This asteroid MD 2011 was passed 240 miles from earth and it is also broken the record of asteroid CQ1. When 2011 CQ1 passed overhead in early February, it came within 7,366 miles of Earth's surface. Asteroids of this size pass close to Earth about once every six years. The space rock is on the small side, with latest size estimates ranging from 16 to 66 feet (5 to 20 meters) wide.

The asteroid's close brush with Earth sent it off on a new trajectory through the solar system. The space rock flew well below geosynchronous satellites, which orbit 22,236 miles (35,786 km) above Earth, but well above the 220-mile (354-km) altitude of the International Space Station.

Sushma Swaraj Dance at Rajghat
New Delhi: Senior Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Leader Sushma Swaraj is dance at the rajghat.The dance by senior BJP leaders, including Sushama Swaraj, at Rajghat has snowballed into a major controversy with Congress dubbing attacking the opposition party as an outfit of dancers and demanding her resignation as the Leader of the Opposition. She promised, "We will sing, swing and dance on patriotic songs till our last breath."

Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj dances at Rajghat amid BJP workers and leaders who had assembled there to protest the government's police action. The tunes were patriotic, but the celebration political. This was the BJP . Unfazed by the attack on her for breaking into a jig at Rajghat during a protest, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj today hit back at Congress saying those criticising her are suffering from “mental slavery” as she had the right to dance on patriotic songs anywhere in India.

Digvijay Singh also said "BJP belonged to an ideology which killed Mahatma Gandhi....With its leaders Sushma Swaraj and Vijay Goel dancing there, they have shown they belong to this ideology." Swaraj had defended her act saying she was dancing to the tune of patriotic songs to boost the morale of party cadres, which is in keeping with traditions of BJP.
