A three-story building sized asteroid that will pass by Earth 134,000 miles away on Sunday will be viewable on a livestream.
between 13 and 29 feet in diameter - roughly the size of a three-story building - is expected to pass Earth this weekend from 134,000 miles away, which is a little more than half the distance to the moon.
The asteroid, called 2023 MU2, will make its closest approach to Earth on Sunday at 7:19 p.m. ET and will be viewable via a livestream from the Virtual Telescope Project. MU2 was discovered just a week ago and was confirmed by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center, Space.com first reported.
An asteroid passing by earth isn’t rare – in fact, 2023 MU2 will be just one of several asteroids passing Earth this weekend, including a car-sized rock that came even closer at 77,000 miles on Friday and a bus-sized asteroid passing within 162,000 miles on Saturday, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The asteroid, called 2023 MU2, will make its closest approach to Earth on Sunday at 7:19 p.m. ET and will be on a viewable via a livestream from the Virtual Telescope Project.
The Dimorphous asteroid, one of the asteroids expected to pass Earth this weekend from a much greater distance, is roughly the size of a stadium. NASA
