Multiple Large Asteroids to Pass Earth This Week, Including House-Sized 2023 LZ.
TL;DR Summary
Newly discovered asteroid 2023 LZ, which is house-sized, will safely pass Earth at about 4/5 the distance to the moon on June 14, 2023. The asteroid spans about 33 to 105 feet (10 to 32 meters) and was discovered by the Pan-STARRS 2 observatory in Hawaii a few days ago. Despite its relatively large size and nearness, there’s nothing to fear as it will not hit Earth.
