Astronomers are hoping for clear skies tonight so they can get a chance to catch images of 2007 TU24, when it passes it will be 334,000 miles away, it does sound far but according to experts…that is very close astronomically speaking.
The asteroid is in fact around one and half times the distance of earth to the moon, in space terms that’s nothing and things could have been very different if it was a little closer.
