Is it going to be visible to the naked eye?
I’m no expert but with a size of 10m, I don’t think so :/
That’s smaller than Hubble.
It’s not the size of your mirror that matters …. Oh I guess it is
damn I didn’t realise Hubble was that big
Quoting from another article:
The researchers said, unfortunately, it would be too dim to see with the naked eye. According to the NASA JPL, 2024 PT5 has an absolute magnitude of 27.6, which is very dim and won’t be visible through most amateur telescopes.
That’s no moon.
