Slooh will broadcast live telescope views of the near-Earth asteroid, called 1998 OR2, tonight (April 28) beginning at 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT). You can watch it live here on Space.com, courtesy of Slooh, or directly from Slooh.com and its YouTube page. This webcast will be free for anyone to watch, but paid members of Slooh can also tune in at Slooh.com and join a so-called "star party" on Zoom, where viewers will be able to join the discussion. Slooh astronomers will also be answering members' questions during this "star party."
The one-hour public event will commence just 11 hours before asteroid 1998 OR2 will make its closest approach to Earth, tomorrow at 5:56 a.m. EDT (0956 GMT). At that time, the asteroid will be about 3.9 million miles (6.3 million kilometers) from Earth, or about 16 times the average distance between Earth and the moon.
