The large asteroid, called 2011 UL21, orbits the sun about every three years, though the next time it comes close won’t happen until, passes on Saturday and should make an even closer approach at 180,198 miles, and although it’s not expected to come anywhere near Earth it would cause “considerable damage” if it did, according to the European Space Agency.
2024 MK will be making its first close approach just 11 days after it was discovered last Sunday, and it's estimated to be between 393 feet and 853 feet. NASA labels objects larger than 150 meters that come within 4.6 million miles of Earth “potentially hazardous objects,” so scientists monitor their potential danger even though they don’t expect the asteroids to pose a threat.We’re launching text message alerts so you'll always know the biggest stories shaping the day’s headlines.
