There is VERY LITTLE being said about this...
https://earthsky.org/space/200-ft-astero...n-the-moon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_DZ2
https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_look...2023%20DZ2
A LOT of asteroids have been getting discovered lately, on very short notice...
They may be just in front of something bigger. Or maybe not.
https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/2023/03/...5-mar-2023
"Close but safe" oh really?? Fkn really?? They seem real sure.
Seriously, Google 2023 DZ2 and marvel at the total lack of articles about it.
They'll report on way smaller asteroids way farther away than this one, but they aren't saying anything about this one??
Suspicious much??
Tunguska was about the same size...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
Meteor Crater was apparently caused by a 170 ft. object...

I dunno, I find the lack of articles about this one to be really unusual.
Anybody who's seen Deep Impact (1998) knows they don't tell the public when the shit is coming.

Reminds me of this thing I've been experiencing for probably well over 10 years now...
I don't even know what to call it. It's not a premonition or a phobia or a phenomenon.
It's not really a 'feeling' but I guess that's the closest way to describe it.
Basically, usually when I'm in bed going to sleep, there will be this anticipation of an extremely loud, inescapable, worldwide sound.
Something everyone, everywhere will hear. Rather than a 'boom' though, it's like a constant tone, almost like a mega loud alarm.
Over the years, I've heard other people mention that they get this same 'feeling' sometimes.

I've been in this whole asteroid game for a lot of years, and I've never seen anything like that.

It's got a 'Rarity' rating of 3...
It's the highest of the 24 NEOs in that list.
Most of them have a rating of zero.

It has a Condition Code of 7...
Condition Codes range from 0-9, zero meaning they're certain of the orbit, and 9 meaning they are totally uncertain of the orbit.
In the case of DZ2, with a 7 rating, they are pretty damn uncertain how close it's actually gonna be and how big it even really is.

HALF the distance between the moon and the Earth.
There are so few articles about this at all that TWEETS are some of the only sources.
WHAT THE FUCK?

Wiki says it has a 1 in 430 chance of impacting Earth on March 27, 2026...
Quote:It is estimated that an impact would produce an upper atmosphere air burst equivalent to 5 Mt TNT, roughly equal to 238 Nagasaki's Fat Man.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_DZ2
Why does it say nothing about the fucking 2023 approach???
This is ALL it says...
Quote:It will pass 108,562 ± 475 miles of Earth on March 25, 2023. This is a little less than half the distance to the Moon.
Maybe cuz they don't actually fucking know yet?
FUCKING HELLO?
GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR FUCKING TOM???

All those big turds we're taking could be a reflection of the big space turd that's coming.

I'm sure it'll be fine, it'd probably hit the ocean anyways.

If it has a 3 year orbit then why are we just now hearing about it?
How have they not previously discovered a threatening asteroid with a 3 year orbit?
That's a very short orbit.
Based on what they CURRENTLY know about its orbit/distance/size (level 7 uncertainty, BTW)...
They put it at Torino 1 for its 2026 pass.
Yet they still have it at a 1 in 430 odds of hitting THIS time, and where's the Torino scale for THIS approach??
How can it be the same odds for 2026??
They don't fucking KNOW FOR SURE, that's how.

Read about the process of assessing the impact threat of Apophis...

It took them YEARS to figure that shit out.

Just Google searched "2023 DZ2" again, and there are absolutely no new results displaying.
Absolutely no MSM news sources have reported the story.
If there aren't articles about this by Monday night?
*shakes head*

They now have it at Condition Code 6.
Started out as a 9, and this is the progress they've made.
Hopefully it'll keep coming down and then they can let MSM report on it once they know it's not gonna hit?!

If you load all 13,402 NEOs (Table Settings: Future Only) and sort the 1,341 pages of results by Rarity descending...
Good ol' DZ2 is on page 4.

Oh but that's not worthy of a news article or anything. Nothing to see here.

Write MSM articles about asteroids that are gonna pass at 15 times the distance between Earth and the moon, but this??
Less than half the distance between Earth and the moon?
Oh that's not news worthy, nah, don't write any articles about that.

LOL. The alignment last happened in 2016, 2020 and 2022.
