Two bus-size asteroids make close flybys of Earth this week
This week, Earth will witness the close but safe passage of two bus-sized asteroids. The first, named 2024 JF, measuring 7 meters long (22 feet), is expected to pass by on Monday evening.
Astronomers anticipate its closest approach at 8:04 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Following closely is the 10-meter-long (32 feet) asteroid 2024 JR1, set to make its closest approach on Tuesday.
Both encounters can be watched live starting Monday afternoon, courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project.
Despite their close proximity, these asteroids pose no threat, with 2024 JF estimated to be about 295,000 miles away at its closest approach, and 2024 JR1 at about 184,000 miles.
Another asteroid, 2024 JD, will follow shortly after, approaching from roughly 172,741 miles away, just a week after its discovery, Space.com has reported.
