Asteroid Flyby in 2029 to be Visible by Naked Eye
Remember that asteroid 2004 MN4 that
was given some uncomfortably high odds of hitting Earth? Well, there is two bits
of good news here - it's not going to hit Earth, but it will be visible to the
naked eye on April 13, 2029. The 320 meter long body will pass Earth at a very
close 36,350 km, just inside the orbit of geosynchronous
satellites.
It will only be visible from parts of Europe and Asia, so book those hotels and flights now. Space.com has all the gory details.
