Trojan Asteroid on earth's orbit

            May be this is a old news, because the Trojan asteroid was found at 2010. This Trojan Asteroid have Found on earth's orbit and it have a 300 meters wide. First i hear this news i remember with the of computer's virus named Trojan. But if Trojan Virus is very dangerous in your internal data in your computer, how about this trojan asteroid? is it danger too with our earth?

             Maybe if you want the answer you must now about definition of Trojan Asteroid first. from related resource i have read, you must know that it named Trojan because of their orbit sistem and not a nick name a the object. This mean any many Trojan asteroid in this solar system. Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus so have this Trojan asteroid and many of them have than more than one. It named Trojan because their orbit stable regions in front of or behind another object (Earth), So that the two share the same orbit but never crash each other. More details is like image bellow:

              Now you understand about the answer do you? so this trojan is not dangerous at all. And maybe if we lucky, we can see this object intersects with our earth. But i don't know when it will happen. a billion object beyond in space and some of them not benign as this Trojan Asteroid. I hope some day that incident on dinasaurus age not will happen again in future. hehe..hopely this knowledge can useful for you. Thanks
