A asteroid about 50 meters in diameter, discovered on February 26, follows a trajectory that entails a small risk of collision with Earth February 14, 2046

“We are tracking new asteroid called 2023 DV has a very small chance of getting into Earth in 2046. Often, when new objects are discovered for the first time, several weeks of data are required to reduce uncertainty and adequately predict their future orbits,” explains the researcher. POT on a twitter account dedicated to monitoring asteroids.

When will it approach the planet?

Its closest approach to Earth Expected February 14, 2046 at a distance of 1.8 million kilometers from Earth. Orbital analysts POT will continue to follow asteroid 2023 DV and will update forecasts as new data become available.

He asteroiddiscovered at the MAP San Pedro de Atacama observatory has an estimated diameter of 49 meters and is currently 0.12 astronomical units from Earth circulates at a relative speed with respect to the Sun of 24.63 kilometers per second. Its orbital period is 271 days.

The ESA Coordination Center for Near-Earth Objects predicts a direct hit probability of 1 in 625 as of March 8, although these probabilities are recalculated daily. (Europe Press)
