Asteroids to make close flybys of Earth in 2023.
TL;DR
An asteroid the size of 33 armadillos, designated as 2023 FL2, is set to pass by Earth on Sunday, but NASA has confirmed that it poses no risk of hitting the Earth. The asteroid is estimated to have a diameter of up to 35 meters and will pass Earth at a distance of over 4.6 million kilometers. Planetary defense scientists are working on ways to prevent dangerous asteroid impacts, including NASA's successful Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission, which altered the trajectory of a faraway asteroid.
