#PPOD: This mosaic shows NASA's radar observations in one-minute increments of asteroid 2024 MK, a 150-meter-wide near-Earth object, made on June 30, 2024, a day after it passed our planet from a distance of only 295,000 kilometers. Close approaches of near-Earth objects the size of 2024 MK are relatively rare, occurring about every couple of decades. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
