There’s no danger, says NASA, from near-Earth asteroid 2023 EY that was discovered on Monday and will pass between the Earth and the Moon on Thursday.
A newly found asteroid about the same size size of a house will pass between the Earth and the Moon on Friday, March 17, 2023.
Only discovered on Monday, March 13, the asteroid measures about 56 ft./17 meters in diameter—about the same size as the that exploded as a fireball over the town in Siberia in 2013. That “super-bollide” came without any warning.,” which hosts a constantly updated list of incoming asteroids that are predicted to get within 4.6 million miles/7.5 million kilometers of Earth. That’s 19.5 times the distance to the Moon.
It might sound a big distance, but large asteroids that come that close are defined as a potentially hazardous object. However, the smaller—and completely non-threatening—2023 EY will get to within a fraction of that. It will pass a mere 149,000 miles/240,000 kilometers from Earth. That’s slightly less than two-thirds of the Earth-Moon distance.
