Newly spotted 50-meter #asteroid tops #Risk List
"... #scientists say that a 49-meter-wide asteroid discovered last week is currently calculated to have a 1-in-625 chance of hitting our #planet in a couple of decades from now.
The rock, called #2023DW, now sits atop the #EuropeanSpaceAgency’s Risk List as the only one with a '1' rating on the #TorinoScale, which is used for categorizing the impact hazard of #NearEarthObjects."
