(190±70)km diameter asteroid discovered last week is making a close approach to Earth on Saturday.
"Close" as in "just within the Moon's orbit". Nowhere near our cloud of orbiting satellites, let alone Earth itself.

Quote:According to Alan Fitzsimmons, a planetary scientist at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland, at its closest, 2024 MK will be visible from the southern hemisphere. The following night it will be in the constellation Scorpius, which is low in the south in Canada.
However, don't expect to see it. It won't be visible to the unaided eye, and, Fitzsimmons added to those who may have telescopes, "you've got to have to know exactly where to look. It's motoring."
