On 10 October 2015, astronomers discovered a human’s skull like asteroid, which they named as 2015 TB145. It has a size of about 625 metres and has already visited the earth twice. First, on 31 October 2015, on the Halloween night, the asteroid had passed 486,000 km (302,000 miles) from the Earth. Due to which the people nicknamed it as "The Halloween Asteroid" or "The Skull Asteroid". And Second, on 11 November 2018, but this time the asteroid had passed 39,900,000 km (24,800,000 mi) from the Earth. It is the distance 104 times further than the Earth-Moon distance.
This asteroid has an orbital period of about 1,112 days, or just over three years. Its orbital eccentricity and tilt suggest that the asteroid was once a comet that has since lost all its volatile compounds after numerous orbits around the Sun, and is now a dead rock flying through space.
But Earth will not get another visit by this asteroid in 2021. In fact, 2015 TB145 won't get anywhere near Earth again until 2082, when it will fly by at about one-third the Earth-sun distance. So we don't have anything to fear from this scary-looking rock for the foreseeable future.
Timescales:-
00:02 - discovery of 2015 tb145
00:20 - size of 2015 tb145
00:31 - halloween asteroid
00:38 - first earth flyby
00:45 - second earth flyby
01:06 - orbital period of 2015 tb145
01:18 - history of 2015 tb145
01:42 - next earth flyby
02:05 - will 2015 tb145 hit the earth
