Led by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace scientist Scott Shepard, a team of researchers has identified the fastest moving asteroid in the solar system.Just 1 kilometer long, a small space rock called 2021 PH27 hits one full circle around the sun for 113 Earth days. It is the fastest known space object known to us, except for Mercury, which takes one complete circle around the Sun in 88 days, but PH27 approaches the Sun by 19.9 million kilometers and has a maximum approaching distance of 47 million kilometers.The discovery sheds light on many asteroids that are in the solar system. We will be able to better understand their origin or composition.
When 2021 PH27 approaches the sun, its surface heats up to 482 degrees, which is enough for its surface to begin to melt.
Currently 2021 PH27 is hiding behind the sun, though researchers hope it will reappear early next year and will be able to continue observing it again.
