☄️ One of the Closest Asteroid Flybys Ever Recorded! 🌍
On January 26, 2023, asteroid 2023 BU passed just 2,200 miles (3,600 km) above Earth's surface—closer than many satellites in orbit. Despite its incredibly close approach, it posed no threat to our planet, giving astronomers a rare opportunity to study a near-Earth object up close.
Moments like this remind us how dynamic—and fascinating—our cosmic neighborhood truly is.
