An asteroid the size of a city block is due to make a close pass by Earth on Saturday (March 9), and you can get a front-row view via two back-to-back webcasts.
The asteroid 2013 ET was discovered March 3 by the Catalina Sky Survey based at the University of Arizona. During the flyby, the space rock will fly within 2.5 times the moon’s distance from Earth. On average, the moon is about 238,000 miles (about 383,000 kilometers) from Earth.
Asteroid 2013 ET is about 210 feet by 460 feet (64 meters by 140 m) in size, with some astronomers comparing its width to a football field. Its close approach to Earth comes just days after another space rock, the 33-foot (10 meters) asteroid 2013 EC, buzzed the Earth on Monday (March 4) at a range just inside the moon’s orbit.

The first asteroid 2013 ET event will occur today in a free live webcast from the Virtual Telescope Project in Ceccano, Italy, starting at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT). You can watch the asteroid webcast on SPACE.com here.
“No matter how many asteroids approach us, even within a few days, the interest for these intriguing cosmic objects is always very high,” Virtual Telescope founder Gianluca Masi, an astrophysicist, told SPACE.com. “I believe that these close approaches should be used to increase in the public a correct perception of the real situation, to avoid confusion and false alarms.”

On Saturday (March 9), the online Slooh Space Telescope, which also offers stargazing events, will provide a free webcast of the asteroid from its observatory in the Canary Islands, off the coast of west Africa. The Slooh webcast will feature discussions by Slooh president Patrick Paolucci, Slooh engineer Paul Cox, and documentary filmmaker Duncan Copp. That show begins Saturday at 3:15 p.m. EST (2015 GMT).
“We only have a short viewing window of an hour or so from our Canary Islands observatory on March 9, but we wanted to give the general public a front row seat to witness this new asteroid in real time as it passes by Earth,” Slooh president Patrick Paolucci said in a statement.
