SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Data from NASA shows the asteroid could hit Earth on that date, but it’s likely to pass Earth by more than 1.1 million miles. “We’ve been tracking a new asteroid named 2023 DW that has a very small chance of impacting Earth in 2046.

Detailed explanation-2: -Based on those two methods, researchers estimate that an asteroid or comet 1 kilometer wide or larger hits the planet every 600, 000 to 700, 000 years.

Detailed explanation-3: -The European Space Agency maintains a risk list of 1, 460 objects, which catalogs every object with a non-zero chance of hitting Earth over the next 100 years. Asteroid 2023 DZ2, which is in orbit around the sun, is not on the risk list.

Detailed explanation-4: -It also for a time had a small chance of hitting Earth in 2036. Additional observations have shown it will not hit Earth in 2029 or in 2036.

Detailed explanation-5: -An asteroid, named “2019 PDC", was discovered that will come dangerously close to the earth 8 years from now, on April 29, 2027. The space rock is between 330 and 1000 feet in size, somewhere in between the length of 6.5 school buses to the height of two Washington Monuments stacked on top of each other.

Detailed explanation-6: -After a brief flirtation with doom, the newly discovered asteroid that was given a 1-in-600 chance of slamming into Earth on Valentine’s Day 2046 is now highly unlikely to hit our planet, NASA announced.
