Asteroid 433 Eros (1898 DQ) is scheduled to make a close pass to Earth on January 31st, 2012. The banana-shaped, stony asteroid will come to within 16,546,000 miles of Earth at approximately 11 AM UTC time.
小行星愛神433（1898年DQ）計劃於2012年1月31日，作一親密的地球略過。該香蕉形、石質的小行星將在上午11點 UTC時間來到地球大約16,546,000英里。
On January 17th the asteroid is 17,754,000 miles away with just over a million miles to travel before it gets closest to Earth. This may not seem important to the average listener, but for astronomers who like to know what’s going on in the space outside our atmosphere, 433 Eros gives us something to pay attention to now and in the future.
在1月17日該小行星是17,754,000英里遠，剛剛超過一百萬英里旅行來到最接近地球之前。這對一般聽眾似乎並不重要，但對想知道在我們大氣層外的空間發生什麼事情的天文學家們，愛神433給予我們現在和未來要注意的東西。
The asteroid is classified as an NEA (near-Earth asteroid) and a Mars-crosser. It was discovered in 1898 and was the first asteroid to be orbited by an unmanned space vehicle sent from Earth in the year 2000. Prior to taking up orbit around 433 Eros, the United States used another NEAR-Shoemaker space vehicle for a flyby of the orbiting asteroid.
小行星被列為一顆NEA（近地小行星）和一個橫渡火星者，它被發現於 1898年及是第一顆小行星由一部在2000年從地球發送的無人太空交通工具繞行軌道。在負起繞愛神433的軌道之前，美國使用另一架近蘇梅克空間飛行器飛越運行軌道的小行星。
Those missions resulted in an understanding of the physical properties of Eros. A BBC science and technology report published in 1999 tells the public of what NASA learned about the asteroid.
那些特派團結果了解愛神的物理性質，一份英國廣播公司出版於1999年的科學和技術報告，告訴公眾美國宇航局所知道有問關小行星的東西。
The Mars-crosser asteroid known as 433 Eros contains more precious metal that has ever been excavated from the surface of the earth. Not just gold, but aluminum, titanium, and platinum to name but a few.
該橫越火星的小行星被稱為愛神433，包含比迄今從地球表面出土有更多的貴金屬，不只是黃金，亦有列舉鋁、鈦、和鉑金幾種。
Stony asteroids contain an average of 3% precious metals. 433 Eros is massive. It is 696 mi.³ of rocky material which equates to 21 mi.³ of precious material. It’s not just one Fort Knox it’s 2000 of them.

The raw material contained within 433 Eros is not only important monetarily on Earth, but its value is increased by the availability of those natural resources for future space construction on properties other than Earth.

The aluminum and titanium available within the matrix of the stony material can be excavated and processed into usable construction material to support and sustain outposts for manned space missions in the future.

NASA has not released new information on planned missions to 433 EROS but many astronomers await the announcement. Consider the fact that when they found out it was full of precious metal, the price for gold was $250 an ounce and was worth nine million a ton, today it has gone way up.

Today the asteroid is worth over 50 million a ton making 433 Eros worth over 11,000,000,000,000 at today’s current prices.

With that much money floating around in space this astronomer cannot understand why NASA doesn’t have a plan to break into the bank. Maybe with the current Mars science laboratory mission slated to land on the Martian surface in August of 2012, NASA is getting ready to take advantage of 433 Eros and its close approach to Mars in December of 2012?

There is no hard proof that NASA plans to exploit this asteroid but until they do astronomers will wonder out loud why the United States hasn’t formulated a plan to make bank from this important discovery.
