Seeing Asteroid 2024 MK: A Space Event This Weekend.
Reading
A small asteroid will pass by Earth this weekend. It will be about three-quarters the distance from Earth to the moon, which is close but not dangerous.
These kinds of asteroids fly by Earth every few years. Experts say it's not unusual and we will see a few in our lifetime.
You might be able to see this asteroid with a small telescope. It will be moving fast across the southern sky, so it will be hard to spot.
The best view will be in the Southern Hemisphere. People in the U.S. should try to see it Saturday night when the sun is not as bright.
If you miss it, another asteroid will be visible in 2029. That one will be bright enough to see without a telescope.
