I'm guessing the asteroid missed then.

They’re everywhere

A quick cartoon for today

It will not hit us #asteroid2023bu https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jan/26/asteroid-2023-bu-about-to-pass-earth-in-one-of-closest-ever-encounters

#asteroid fun to see what damage an asteroid would to if it landed on your head https://neal.fun/asteroid-launcher #Asteroid2023BU #2023BU

I wonder if I can get some #asteroid bounce contacts off #Asteroid2023BU -- I wonder what frequencies that sucker will reflect... #hamradio

I miss Tony Dunn who's in the other place, through whom I kept up asteroid events future, current and in the recent past.

From his animation, it appears that #Asteroid2023BU is barreling towards us and at this point is over the Pacific, and will follow a path over Siberia, across the mid East and pass closest to the surface (3500km) above South America.

It's just marginally above escape velocity, so should miss, but even capture as a truck-sized boulder should be minimal.

Looks like Earth is spared this time. But it’s a #CloseEncounter tonight. And since it drastically alters the asteroid’s orbit, it will affect ours too, microscopically. And maybe the Moon’s? #ThreeBodyProblem #Asteroid2023BU
