A newly-discovered asteroid designated 2024 JT3 will fly past Earth at a distance of just 0.07 LD \/ 0.00017 AU (24 710 km \/ 15 976 miles) from the center of our planet at 09:34 UTC on May 9, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the 41st<\/sup> asteroid to fly past Earth within 1 lunar distance since the start of the year and the fourth so far this month. It is also the third closest fly-by of the year, following 2024 HA at 0.040 LD on April 16 and 2024 GJ2 at 0.049 LD on April 11.<\/p>\n

Asteroid 2024 JT3 was first observed at Mt. Lemmon Survey on May 8 \u2014 just one day before its close approach.<\/p>\n

The object belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids and has an estimated diameter between 3.9 and 8.7 m (12.8 \u2013 28.5 feet).<\/p>\n
