A livestream will show the asteroid flying by Earth at slightly less than half the average distance between our planet and the moon.

An asteroid measuring around 200 feet across is set to zoom past the Earth in a"very close" encounter this weekend, and the astronomical event can be watched live online.

The livestream will begin at 11:30 p.m. UTC on Saturday, or 7:30 p.m. ET. Masi described the approach as"very close." 2023 DZ2 is one of more than 31,000 near-Earth objects, or NEOs, that scientists have identified to date. Near-Earth object is a term used to refer to any astronomical body orbiting the sun that passes within 30 million miles of our planet's orbit

Potentially hazardous objects are large enough to produce significant damage on at least a regional scale in the event of an impact with Earth.
