According to astronomers, the super comet named ISON will approach Earth but will not cause any collision that affects the safety of humanity.

ISON will be visible to the naked eye in late summer or early December.



Meanwhile, the US space agency NASA said that an asteroid of the same type as the object that caused the famous Tunguska explosion in Russia in 1908 will fly past Earth in 2013.

According to data on NASA's website published on February 26, this asteroid is named 2012 DA14.

According to NASA, it will travel about 26,900km from our planet on February 15, 2013, closer than satellites in geostationary orbit that are 35,700km from Earth.
