(AP) A little object discovered In the sky two weeks ago by Dr. E. Delport of Belgium is an asteroid, astrono mers said today. It came nearer to earth than any other asteroid in the history of astronomy. Dr. Hnrlow Shapley. director of the Harvard college observatory, an nounced nothing quite like the little asteroid ever had bren observed be fore. He said gravitational disturb ance of its orbit by four planets, in cluding the earth and the moon, might some day cause the asteroid to be ejected from the planetary sys tem. It might even collide with one of the other planets, he said, al though he added that possibility was remote. An asteroid is a small planet. This one was only about a third of mile in diameter, about the size of a small mountain. Astronomers estimated It was nearest earth on February 7 several days before It was discovered when It was about 1,250.000 to 1. fiftO.OOO miles from this planet.
