This is a very cool visualization of NEOs. It does a great job of showing not just by how much the NEOs should miss the Earth, but the angle and trajectory of the approach. I also like the Moon orbiting the Earth in the visualization, which provides added detail.
I am not the owner of the YouTube channel nor do I play one TV. Your mileage may vary.

Personally, I’m rooting for the asteroids. Our current rock has gone insane.

Can’t wait until bpearthwatch tells us that they’re actually “cometary nuculus coming to kill us all” again.

Only place those two small rocks are mentioned is in that video.
Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 will make a close approach to Earth on April 29. The hefty space rock has an estimated diameter of 1.1 to 2.5 miles (1.8 to 4.1 kilometers), or about the width of the isle of Manhattan.

Pretty neat simulation, shows the 3D nature of the problem. The Earth gives a little come-hither when something passes that close, altering its subsequent trajectory. I liked the first tune as well, plan to track that down.
