The asteroid, dubbed 2023 DW, has about a 1 in 560 chance of hitting Earth, according to Nasa. It's the only space rock on Nasa's risk list that ranks a 1 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale. On February 14, 2046, a small but still decent-sized asteroid will almost certainly not hit Earth. That’s generally the way to bet about any space rock, but if you only read the headlines last Bottom line: Astronomers have now said the newly discovered asteroid 2023DW will most likely not hit Earth on Valentine’s Day 2046. In fact, there’s a 99.972% chance that 2023DW will miss Gigantic Valentine's Day asteroid could strike Earth in 2046, NASA says By Ariana Garcia , Assistant News Editor Updated Nov 13, 2023 4:51 p.m. NASA says a 160-foot-wide asteroid could potentially An asteroid that was initially given 1-in-600 chance of wiping out an entire city on Valentine's Day 2046 is now expected to almost definitely whizz past us without incident. Love won't be the only thing in the air on Valentine's Day in 2046. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office said they have been tracking a new asteroid named 2023 DW that has a very small chance of impacting Earth on Feb. 14, 2046, when it passes the planet at a distance of about 1.1 million miles. The soonest the asteroid would potentially impact Earth isn't for more than two decades. According to the European Space Agency, it's predicted that 2023 DW could impact the planet on Valentine's A newly discovered asteroid roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool has a “small chance” of colliding with Earth in 23 years, with a potential impact on Valentine’s Day 2046, according For comparison purposes, a similar-sized asteroid caused the Tunguska event in 1908. That asteroid exploded before hitting the ground but flattened around 80 million trees across an area of 2,150 square kilometers (830 square miles). That's an area almost as big as Cape Town, though the affected region was largely unpopulated at the time. NASA says it's tracking an asteroid that has a chance of hitting Earth on Valentine's Day in 2046. The asteroid, named "2023 DW," is close to the size of an Olympic swimming pool. Recently discovered asteroid 2023 DW has been predicted to have a close encounter with Earth on Feb. 14, 2046. See NASA's current odds of impact along with a The asteroid, named 2024 BR4 by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies This Valentine's Day is the closest this specific space object will get to Earth for the next 120 years, meaning we The recently discovered asteroid, 2023 DW, could hit earth in 2046 around Valentine's Day and is about as wide as the width of a football field. The recently discovered asteroid, 2023 DW, could hit earth in 2046 around Valentine's Day and is about as wide as the width of a football field. NASA just shared an update on 2023 DW, the asteroid it believes has a chance to hit Earth on Valentine’s Day 2046 — and it’s great news. Eyes on asteroids: Our solar system contains millions of asteroids, and while most will never come close to Earth, an impact from one 460 feet wide or larger could flatten a city . They say three's a crowd, and that goes double for asteroids, with three of these cosmic space rocks heading in Earth's direction this coming Valentine's Day, according to NASA's asteroid tracker The chances have plummeted that a newly discovered asteroid with the potential to wipe out a city will hit Earth on Valentine’s Day 2046, the European Space Agency said on Tuesday.

Twenty years ago, just before Valentine’s Day, the plucky spacecraft NEAR Shoemaker managed to cuddle up close with an asteroid for the first time in history. 4,834 likes, 34 comments - scienceofinfinity on December 21, 2024: "Valentine's Day Asteroid Coming. 勞 #asteroid #earth #nasa #moon #space #apophis #scienceofinfinity".
