Scientists Just Discovered an Asteroid Heading Our Way. Here's What to Know

that in just under 23 years, a newly discovered asteroid named 2023 DW—which measures 50 m wide, or about the size of an Olympic swimming pool—will make a close swing by Earth, with a 1 in 560 chance of colliding with us.

“Often when new objects are first discovered, it takes several weeks of data to reduce the uncertainties and adequately predict their orbits years into the future,” NASA’s tweet read in part. “Orbit analysts will continue to monitor asteroid 2023 DW and update predictions as more data comes in.”—including, well, this one. So how worried should you be?

Rooting for the Asteroid

are we good? MCO335

Just let it come and put us all out of our misery

...

If it was 100% confirmed that it would hit earth from the 100s of independent researches and scientists, at least 30% of Americans would not believe it. And a lot of politicians would entertain 'how fake it is' to get political donations. Because that's how it works now.

Don't look up.
