Catch Asteroid 1997 NC1 This Weekend

A giant space rock, 1997 NC1, is making its closest approach to Earth in 400 years—passing at a safe 2.56 million km away, or 6.5 moon trips. Though it’s as big as a skyscraper and won’t return this close until 2133, you’ll need a telescope or powerful binoculars to spot it, as it’ll shine like Neptune. Best viewing windows: Europe/Mexico on the 26th–27th night, US before sunrise on the 26th–27th, and Argentina/Southern Cone on the 27th–28th night. Livestreams are available if skies or gear aren’t cooperating—don’t miss this rare cosmic show. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
