From EarthSky.com "House-sized asteroid to pass Earth safely today
Newly known asteroid! Don't worry, it's a (relatively) little one. The Pan-STARRS 2 observatory in Hawaii discovered it on Saturday. It's now been labeled asteroid 2023 LZ. It'll sweep closest to Earth at 18:36 UTC (1:36 p.m. CDT) today, passing inside the moon's orbit. Astronomers estimate the asteroid is house-sized. It's not going to strike Earth. But, if it did encounter Earth's atmosphere, how big would it need to be to survive?"
