Scientists say 0 impact risk
JH2 will zip by at a speedy 9.14km per second and reach its closest point around 9:53pm IST.
No worries, though, scientists say there is zero risk of it hitting Earth thanks to precise tracking.
If you are into stargazing, you might catch it with an amateur telescope near Ursa Major.
You do not need fancy equipment: the Virtual Telescope Project in Italy plans a live stream of the flyby.
It is a cool chance for anyone to watch this cosmic visitor glide past and for scientists to learn more about asteroids up close.
