The space rock will make its closest approach past
Earth early on June 29, passing at just three-quarters
of the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
The asteroid, which was first spotted two
weeks ago by an observatory in South Africa,
is estimated to be about 393 feet to 853 feet wide.
According to asteroid expert Davide Farnocchia,
who works for NASA's Center for Near-Earth
Object Studies, asteroids the size of 2024 MK
only pass by about every 25 years.
We’re going to see a few
of those during our lifetimes,
but it’s not something that
happens every other day, Davide Farnocchia, NASA Center for
Near-Earth Object Studies, via ABC.
On June 27, a 7,579-foot asteroid just passed
the Earth at a slightly greater distance and
was only visible with professional telescopes.
The upcoming 2024 MK will be visible
with a small telescope but will not
be visible to the naked eye. .
ABC reports that skywatchers in
the Southern Hemisphere will have
the best odds of spotting the asteroid.
The next major asteroid is set for April 13, 2029,
when Apophis will pass Earth and be visible with
the naked eye to viewers in Europe, Africa and Asia.

Donald Trump was shot at today during an election rally in Pennsylvania. The former US President is reported to be safe and recuperating under medical care. However, conflicting reports are emerging about the incident. While Trump asserts that he was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear, law enforcement officials claim he was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter broken by the bullets. This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with some social media users calling the event a staged 'photo op' for sympathy and votes. President Biden has condemned the attack as "sick," and tech mogul Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Trump following the incident. The true details of what happened remain under investigation.
