2002 MN is the provisional name given to a 73 meter-sized asteroid that on June 14 2002 missed the Earth by only 75000 miles (120000 km) about one third the distance to the Moon (0.3 LD). The close approach was second only to the Earth approach by the 10 meter-sized asteroid 1994 XM1. 2002 MN was discovered on June 17 2002 three days after closest approach.
