The inhabitants of our planet will be able to observe its approach on September 15. Then he will be at the closest possible distance.

In a few weeks, astronomers will be able to examine asteroid 2024 ON, which will fly by Earth at a safe distance. The New York Post writes about it on Monday, September 2.

“The asteroid, at least 220 meters in diameter, which is equivalent to the length of two football fields, will be visible from the Northern Hemisphere,” the publication wrote.

Its approach to Earth is not a concern for astronomers, as it will fly by Earth at a distance of about one million kilometers, which is about 2.6 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.

“The convergence in 2024 ON occurs on average once every ten years. You can observe its movement on September 15,” the journalists pointed out.

They also remind you that asteroids are fragments of rock left over from the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

We remind you that it was previously reported that an asteroid the size of a skyscraper will fly over the Earth.

NASA is preparing a mission to an asteroid that will cost 10 quadrillion dollars
