BREAKING🚨🚨: Asteroid 2023 BU Will Brush The Earth's Atmosphere Tomorrow

It will be an amazing view and the chance to see a cosmic rock pass by considerably closer than the geostationary satellites that are now in orbit.

Using the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, astronomer Gennadiy Borisov found the asteroid 2023 BU on January 21. Since the analysis of the body's orbit indicated a near encounter with Earth, experts have been keeping a tight check on it.

The tiny body is just 3.8 to 8.4 meters in size, which implies that if it interacts with the atmosphere, it will ultimately split into a thousand fragments that will later be burned by friction.

Asteroids are moving at a rate of 9.26 kilometers per second, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Center for the Study of Near-Earth Objects. Asteroid 2023 BU is one such object. However, the fact that the cosmic object will fly by Earth at a distance of fewer than 10,000 kilometers—roughly 25% closer than geostationary satellites put into orbit by humans—is what truly grabs people's attention.

Asteroid 2023 BU is not thought to be potentially harmful because of its modest size, according to NASA, despite the fact that it is quite near to Earth. There is no threat to life on Earth since if it were to contact with the atmosphere, it would be responsible for pulverizing it.
