I’M EXPECTING AN EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOM: NASA: Earth-Crossing Asteroid That Could Explode Mid-Air To Approach Tomorrow. But — spoiler — it’s not going to hit the Earth tomorrow. “According to CNEOS, 2020 BZ4 is not in danger of hitting Earth during its upcoming visit. This asteroid is expected to cross Earth’s path on Jan. 31 at 9:48 a.m. EST. During this time, the asteroid will be about 0.01452 astronomical units away from the planet’s center, which is equivalent to around 1.3 million miles. Its next near-Earth intersection is expected to happen on Jan. 13, 2021.”
