An asteroid called 2023DZ2, discovered by NASA in February this year, will approach Earth like never before. According to information, the distance will reach 173 thousand kilometers next Saturday, the 25th. The asteroid will be closer to Earth than the Moon, which is 384,400 kilometers away from the planet.
It is a composition of the Apollo family, with 64 meters in diameter, considered slow by the discovery calculations.

The closest approximation of a celestial body can be seen by specialists who have telescopes with at least six inches. It is estimated that the approach can be seen from 16:50 on next Saturday, according to the calculations, but it is important to pay attention to the telescope and the sky to observe the event.
The speed of asteroid 2023DZ2 reaches 28 thousand kilometers per hour, considered high for an asteroid of its size. However, experts claim that its speed is relatively low compared to other asteroids they have observed.
In February, the team of astronomers from the observatory of La Palma, Spain, discovered the asteroid that is close to Earth. According to information from the Earth Sky platform, the celestial body fragment orbits the Sun every 3.17 years.
If you observe any distinct movement crossing the sky of Brazil, know that it was the closest asteroid that passed by the planet, similar to a star "with slow movement", pointed out in the report of the discovery.
Astronomers believe that 1 in 430 asteroids could hit Earth by March 2026. This was a new discovered celestial body, the case is still recent, but there are estimates that other discoveries are capable of reaching the planet.
These surveys are relevant to scientists even with the difficulty of observing movements in space. It is believed that by March 2026 the celestial body will reach the atmosphere and more and more certainties are beginning to emerge.
