Wouldn’t there be other objects that Collide with the asteroid and knock it off course? Or other large gravitationally significant objects which in the course of their own movements alter the path of Mr. OW?
How can the trackers predict that?
Just askin’ for a friend.

3I/2023 (ATLAS) is coming and it looks like it will fly between Mars and Earth with an estimated diameter of 20 kilometers.

“Plane” sized is better than “planet” sized, but this object will pass further away than the moon, and no one is worrying that the moon is about to crash into the earth.
To: Red Badger
On July 28, a plane-sized asteroid, named 2025 OW, is scheduled to pass Earth at a distance of 393,000 miles.When they spot one that's going to pass within 75 feet of the Earth, then I'll be concerned.
To: Red Badger
Oh, thank goodness! So relieved that NASA can alert us in time to go buy beer and chips before we get smashed.

Despite the excitement surrounding this event, NASA is confident that the asteroid [Apophis, 1,115 ft long, passing earth at a distance of 23,612 miles] poses no threat to Earth.

Plane sized...
A paper airplane, Learjet or 747 sized? It might land at Kennedy International Airport...😀
These journalists...
To: Red Badger
So instead, in 4 years, we have a much bigger asteroid coming much closer, named after this clown...
Apophis (also known as Apep) is the Great Serpent, enemy of the sun god Ra, in ancient Egyptian religion. The sun was Ra’s great barge which sailed through the sky from dawn to dusk and then descended into the underworld. As it sailed through the darkness, it was attacked by Apophis who sought to kill Ra and prevent sunrise.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along...
