Sorry, I have been busy and haven't had a chance to check my email.  But this is from today.

Two rare asteroids will zoom past Earth at close range this week, within just 42 hours of each other.

 

Neither of these asteroids will be visible to the naked eye, but you may be able to spot them with a telescope or binoculars, Gianluca Masi, astrophysicist and founder of The Virtual Telescope Project, told Business Insider over email.

 

Or, you can watch them via livestreams hosted by The Virtual Telescope Project:

Use this link to watch Asteroid (415029) 2011 UL21 streak past Earth on Thursday, June 27, starting at 4:00 pm ET.

both of these asteroids will pass by during daylight hours in the continental United States. So they won’t likely be visible to anyone in the continental US.

While the actual flyby might not be, they will be visible before and after. 2024 MK will be in Sagittarius on tonight/tomorrow morning.
