Asteroid 2019 OK

Asteroid 2019 OK


Join Dubai Astronomy Group for the topic of week ‘The Asteroid 2019 OK’.

 

Earth had a close encounter when Asteroid 2019 OK sped by at a speed of nearly 69,000kmph on July 25, its size ranges between 187 to 426 feet (57 to 130 meters) across and was about 72,500km from Earth, a safe distance but still much less than the distance between the Earth and Moon. While Earth gets a few asteroid visitors that buzz closer than the Moon every year, this one was the largest so far in 2019.

A free-to-attend event for everyone.

Date: Friday, 2nd August 2019
Time: 7:30pm onwards
Location: Al Thuraya Astronomy Center – Mushrif Park, Dubai
