On March 11, astronomer Krisztian Sarneczky noticed an asteroid at the Piszkstet Observatory in Hungary. Back in March 2022, a small asteroid around half the size of a giraffe known as 2022 EB5 hit the Earth just hours after its discovery. Smaller asteroids, like the one that exploded over Russia in 2013, can strike Earth without warning, but larger, more dangerous objects have surprised astronomers, too. But thankfully, when the asteroid was able to be tracked again, the accumulating data on the asteroid's path revealed the chance of impact was dramatically decreasing over time.

Next Five Asteroid Approaches - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL The asteroid once thought to be one of Earth's biggest risks When the 164-foot (50-meter) asteroid passes by on March 11, 2023, there is roughly a 1 in 500,000 chance of . We should probably expect a pretty spectacular light show, considering the low angle and high population of the area. The asteroid Bennu is 1,620 feet (490 meters) in diameter. What we need now to complete this story is to recover some of these rocks and find out what kind of material made up asteroid 2022 WJ1. The Asteroid Watch dashboard tracks asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth. What's shocking is that this 3-foot asteroid was detected just hours before impact!
