NASA’s Planetary Radar Tracks Two Large Asteroid Close Approaches

The Deep Space Network’s Goldstone planetary radar had a busy few days observing asteroids 2024 MK and 2011 UL21 as they safely passed Earth.

NASA management also promotes #TeamRadar at #SBAG , highlighting the #2011UL21 and #2024MK observations two weeks ago: https://echo.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroids/june2024.goldstone.planning.html

Thank you again, management.

More details about the #TeamRadar observations of asteroids #2024MK and #2011UL21 from #Goldstone and #Canberra as they flew past Earth this past week:

2011 UL21 turns out to have a small satellite orbiting it at something over 3 kilometers away.

And 2024 MK is really tumbling.

It has been a busy weekend for #TeamRadar at #Goldstone and #Canberra .

And thanks go to the optical observers who obtained lots of lightcurve data on #2024MK from Chile and South Africa.

New radar imagery of 2024 MK from @NASAJPL ’s Goldstone Solar System Radar. These images - taken when the #asteroid was about 240K miles away - reveal 2024 MK is about 500 ft. wide. Stay tuned for more #2024MK science.

🌎 Large Asteroid 2024 MK : Pass between Earth and the Moon Saturday

YouTube
Westport ObservatoryJun 29, 2024

Asteroid Day got off to a wild one as Earth had a very close shave from newly discovered Asteroid 2024 MK. This unusually large 156m NEO Apollo rock safely flew between Earth and the Moon this morning at 9:45 am. This was only discovered on June 16th and shows why we need earlier detection of these Near-Earth Objects.

Na, wiedermal kurz am Weltuntergang vorbei schrammen: 🤪

Ein großer #Asteroid, 2024 MK, wird am Samstag in einer Entfernung von etwa 290.000 km an der Erde vorbeifliegen. Mit einem Durchmesser von 120 bis 260 Metern ist er erheblich größer als viele andere Asteroiden in Erdnähe. Bemerkenswert ist, dass 2024 MK erst 10 bis 12 Tage vor seiner nächsten Annäherung entdeckt wurde.
