DONTYELLATME Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) An asteroid which was discovered late last month has a “very small chance” of impacting Earth on Valentine’s Day in 2046, NASA said on Tuesday, as astronomers worked to gather more data. 2023 DW was first discovered in Chile at the end of February and – after about a week’s worth of observations – has a 1 in 560 chance of hitting Earth at 21:44 UTC on February 14, 2046, according to NASA. The asteroid is about 50 meters (164 feet) in diameter, more than double in size when compared to the meteor which caused an air burst over Russia in 2013, damaging homes and injuring close to 1,500 people.

The three body problem doesn't allow for full certainty in these kinds of predictions, however these are pretty accurate.
