A creepy skull-shaped space rock is due to haunt the world again next year.
Asteroid 2015 TB145 is depicted in eight individual radar images.
The asteroid named 2015 TB145 first passed Earth by 300,000 miles on Oct. 31, 2015.
Owing to its timing and skull-like appearance, it was nicknamed the “Halloween asteroid” at the time. But astronomers think the skeletal rock will be revisiting us sometime in mid-November next year.
During its flyby two years ago, astronomers were able to become more familiar with its characteristics. They managed to pin down it measurements to around 2,100 feet across and plot its orbital path. As they examined it, NASA was able to categorize it as a “Potentially Hazardous Asteroid.”
NASA Scientists also managed to work out that it most likely completes a rotation every three hours as it shoots through space.
Creepy!
