An asteroid of enormous dimensions, the size of the square Colosseum, or the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana, which is a huge building located in Rome, will completely wipe the Earth on Monday, March 27, at a speed of 32,000 km / h.
The orb in question is 2023 DZD 2which was seen on February 27, 2023 fromRoque de los Muchachos Observatory On the island of La Palma, in the Canary Islands, thanks to Isaac Newton’s telescopes.
astronomers of the Euronear project, Ovidiu VaduvescuAnd Freya Barwell And Kiran GasContribute to the discovery.
2023 DZ2 is three times larger than the Thelyabinsk meteorite, which in 2013 caused damage in a large area and injured 1,500 people.
Asteroid 2023 DZ2 will pass near Earth at a distance of about 170,000 kmLess than half the average distance between the Earth and the Moon. According to the European Space Agency (ESA) Near Earth Coordination Center, It will reach its closest point to our planet on March 27, 2023 at 12.15 Italian time..
This section, as reported by the newspaper Corriere della SeraAnd It will not be dangerous for the Earth. Instead, there is a slightly higher chance of a collision between 2023 DZ2 and Earth’s surface that is expected to occur. March 27, 2026History will pass again. Initially, the scientists estimated that the probability of this second move affecting it was 1 in 621, a risk that should not be underestimated.
The latest data from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) suggests there is only a 0.0014 percent chance of a collision, or about 1 in 71,000.
