Asteroid to Pass Close to Earth and Moon in 2023: What You Need to Know
Recently, scientists have discovered a large asteroid that will pass very close to Earth and the Moon in 2023. This asteroid, known as 2021 GT3, is estimated to be between 200 to 500 meters in diameter, making it one of the largest asteroids that has ever been recorded to pass so close to Earth and the Moon.
This asteroid is projected to pass within 1.25 lunar distances of Earth and the Moon, which is only about 300,000 kilometers away! This means that this large asteroid will be passing closer to us than the Moon is!
The scientists believe that this asteroid will pass closest to Earth and the Moon around April 29th, 2023. It is important to note that this asteroid does not pose any threat to us, however it is still important to monitor this asteroid and its trajectory in the coming years.
