A bus-sized asteroid will miss earth by 2,100 miles on Friday

It’s not mountain-sized, like the one the Apostle John saw in his vision of the end-times, but a bus-sized asteroid that will miss earth by only 2,100 miles (ca. 3,380 km) later this week. The asteroid, named 2023 BU, which is travelling at 33,300 miles (ca. 53,591 km) an hour, will skim by earth on Friday, Jan 27, 2023. According to NASA, its current trajectory indicates it will not hit the earth, but nevertheless, it is the fourth-closest recorded distance an asteroid has been to our planet. 2023 BU was only picked up by NASA the past weekend. At 12.4 feet (3.78 m) by 27.8 feet (8.47 m) in size, it is about half the size of the meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013. NASA added that 2023 BU would probably burn up if it did veer into our planet. So call it a warning shot across the bow, as the Apostle John warned of asteroids hitting earth during the end times apocalypse causing significant damage READ: Huge asteroid the size of a …

Another very close call

It was a very close call, and was all the more onimous considering that the asteroid flew by on Friday, Nov. 13, 2020, if you are into that sort of thing. The Daily Mail reports that an asteroid, the size of a large bus (16 feet to 33 feet), missed earth by just 240 miles (386 km) last Friday. This is the closest an asteroid has come to hitting earth since astronomers started tracking what they describe as near earth objects. What is perhaps equally concerning is that astronomers who track asteroids had no idea this happened until Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System located on Mauna Loa, Hawaii saw it flying away the next day. However, even if it had hit earth, it is suspected the asteroid named 2020 VT4 would have burned up in the earth’s atmosphere. In order for an asteroid to reach earth and potentially cause damage, it’s needs to be at least 25 meters (82 feet) in size and for it to have a global impact the asteroid would need to …
