The Minor Planet Center informed that a newly discovered asteroid will miss the Earth by 5600 Kilometers, and this had raised an alarm. The newly identified asteroid was officially labeled by the Minor Planet Centre, run by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. It was known that, this space rock was one of the closest asteroid which is only about the distance of just half the diameter of Earth. Later Denis Denisenko of Moscow's Space Research found out that, this was the European Space probe Rosetta on a programmed fly by near Earth.
