poses no threat of impacting Earth during this visit, there is a miniscule chance it could hit us when it returns in 2026.
It’s common to see asteroids measuring a few meters across coming close to Earth and even impacting our atmosphere once or twice a year, but this is a real big ‘un. It’s wide enough that when it comes within .45 lunar distances, or 107,500 miles of Earth, it could be sufficiently big and bright in the night sky to view with binoculars.
That’s more than a wide enough berth that we can all sleep well this week without worrying that 2023 DZ2 might level a city somewhere. Meanwhile the stream of observations of this newfound object, which was just discovered a few weeks ago, is causing its impact probability in 2026 to jump around a bit.
