Airplane-size asteroid will have 'very close encounter' with Earth on Saturday — and you can watch it happen
Asteroid 2024 BJ, which astronomers detected earlier this month, will zoom within 220,000 miles of Earth tomorrow, or closer to us than the average distance to the moon.
You can watch the airplane-size asteroid as it sails just 220,000 miles (354,000 kilometers) from Earth on a Virtual Telescope Project live feed from 12:15 p.m. EST. https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/webtv/
