We could see a rare celestial phenomenon on Saturday night

Once a decade, if you see a phenomenon like the one we can observe in the sky on March 25th, he writes IFLScience.

This is when asteroid 2023 DZ2, which is between 40 and 90 meters in size, will approach our planet. However, there is no need to worry, as the object will pass a safe distance, about 173,000 km from Earth.

NASA has given the object a triple rare rating. According to estimates by the US Space Agency, objects of this size approach Earth only once every decade.

Richard MoiselThe head of the Planetary Protection Department of the European Space Agency pointed out that there is no chance that this asteroid, which destroys the city, will collide with Earth, but the safe distance provides a great opportunity for observation. Astronomers from the International Asteroid Warning Network will take advantage of this opportunity.

From the Northern Hemisphere, the asteroid may appear as a slow-moving star on the southeastern horizon, east of the constellations Orion, Canis Major, and Canis Minor. The minor planet will be closest to us at 20:52 Galactic time, and even civilians can observe it with a convenient portable telescope.
