Asteroid Close Encounters: Livestreams and Near Misses.

Asteroid 2023 EY, which is roughly 52 feet across, will pass within 149,000 miles of Earth's surface on March 16. The Virtual Telescope Project will host a free livestream of the event, which will begin at 8:00 p.m. EST. The asteroid was discovered by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and is not expected to impact Earth. ATLAS has discovered over 700 near-Earth asteroids so far, none of which has threatened the planet.
