I'm just putting out facts because of whether was intended or not, misleading or fearmongering people should be straightened out with facts.
All the smartest astronomers including many amateurs around the world haven't come forward with grave concerns so who are you going to believe, astronomers or YTbers?
Respectfully I thought you weren't gonna waste your time anymore...
regardless if 2023 DZ2 comes blazing into the atmosphere or not. I can pretty much guarantee the consensus opinion here on ATS is if there were an inbound asteroid TPTB just discovered weeks before it was gonna hit, there would be no announcement of the impending impact. Instead, they would point out how close it is gonna be but it's just gonna miss us by about 1/2 LD.
The Moon is an average of 238,855 miles from earth, its coming within half that distance is newsworthy by itself. The fact that it is going to be close enough and slow enough to view on private telescopes is newsworthy too.

Ok not all videos on YT are far fetched.
There are videos from credible sources and others are fear mongering for profit YTbers. Sensational exaggerated contents are usually begging for attention of viewers in which they end up being mostly if not all just a wild speculation or how kids or newbies interpretate of scientific data.

Read my post again.
Making a list of something you have no control over is a waste of time.
As far as the 2023 DZ2 is concerned, well it's been observed and reported world wide so there's nothing to worry about.
Say an amateur astronomer discovers an asteroid on a collision course with earth but decides to keep it silent, what can you do about it?
I'm grateful for many professional and amateur astronomers all around the wprld actively watching the sky.
Nothing's gonna happen on march 25 or 26 or 27th.

The asteroid is currently visible in the constellation of Cancer, but on Saturday it will pass through Leo, Virgo and Libra.
If you do not have access to a telescope or binoculars, you can still watch 2023 DZ2's close approach to our planet. The VTP will be providing a live stream that will enable viewers to observe the asteroid as it zooms past the Earth.
The VTP is a service provided by the Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Ceccano, Italy, that operates and provides access to robotic, remotely operated telescopes.
Even though 2023 DZ2 was discovered just last month, astronomers have calculated its orbit accurately, and there is no chance of a collision during its upcoming flyby.
Even though 2023 DZ2 was discovered just last month, astronomers have calculated its orbit accurately, and there is no chance of a collision during its upcoming flyby.
Astronomers have calculated though that there is a 1 in 71,000 chance that the object—which takes around three years to orbit the sun—could collide with Earth on March 27, 2026. But this is extremely unlikely, and the most probable scenario is that it will fly safely past our planet again.

A pretty big chunk of space rock is due to pass by Earth,at a literal space whisker away next week.
Coming closer than the moon,the rock is not expected to hit us thank goodness-at least if the astromoners have their calculations correct-
Yet another newly discovered space rock will safely zip past Earth, this one on March 25, 2023. It’ll sweep by at about half the Earth-moon distance.
Astronomers at the observatory of La Palma, in the Canary Islands, Spain, discovered the asteroid in late February, 2023. And amateur astronomers might get a glimpse of the asteroid as it speeds past.
earthsky.org...
This guy on Youtube seems to think that JPL have kept quiet about the discovery since it was found in February-and is on the fence about if it will hit us or not-
He calls it a potential "country killer."
I wonder what the elite think about this?
Could be interesting to monitor private jet flights to New Zealand over the next few days-many of the mega rich have their doomsday bunkers there.
Lets hope we only get to see it on video footage as it passes us by,and not in the the form of a giant crater.
Last week of March is shaping up to be potentially mental,what with the alleged magnetic pole flip which has long been predicted by some for the same timeframe..

Oh well,hopefully 2 more doom dates we can cross off the list.

I wonder what would happen if it hit the moon.
If you happened to be looking in the right place, you might see a little poof! I'm pretty sure it has happened a few thousand time before.

I was hoping for something more dramatic. Then I looked up Tycho and realised this is pretty small really.

Question: If the tides rise and fall from moon gravity pull, would this have any effect on the tides as it passes by?a reply to: schuyler
