This weekend, we have an incredible celestial event you won't want to miss! An asteroid named 2024 MK is set to make a close approach to Earth, and with the right equipment and timing, you might just spot it!

🔭 About 2024 MK:

Discovered just two weeks ago by a South African observatory.
Estimated to be between 393 and 853 feet wide.
Passing by Earth at three-quarters the distance to the moon.
🚀 Viewing Tips:

You'll need a small telescope since the asteroid isn't visible to the naked eye.
It will be moving quickly across the southern sky.
Best viewing for those in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the U.S., try Saturday night for the best chance to see it without the sun's glare.
🌌 Fun Fact:

Smaller objects pass by Earth often, but asteroids of this size come around about every 25 years.
If you miss this one, look forward to April 13, 2029, when the asteroid Apophis will be visible to the naked eye from parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia.
