Here’s how some may be able to see it 👀
Can you see Asteroid 7335 pass by?
For those with a backyard telescope, 7335 might reach an apparent brightness of 11.7, which experts say is bright enough to be seen through a 6- to 8-inch diameter backyard telescope, according to EarthSky. The website reported that 7335 will appear as a "slow-moving ‘star’ in front of the fixed background stars," due to its distance. However, the asteroid will actually be traveling at a speed of 29,349 miles per hour, relative to Earth.
For those in North America, the best opportunity to get a glimpse of 7335 comes on the night of Wednesday, May 25, according to EarthSky. It added that after May 26, the rock will be too close to the horizon for viewing, but observers in the Southern Hemisphere may still be able to see it.
