NASA has assessed a newly discovered asteroid, designated 2023 PDC, with a statistically low but non-zero probability of impacting Earth in 2032. The agency estimates the chance of impact at approximately 1 in 83, based on current observational data. Further observation and analysis are underway to refine the predicted trajectory and impact probability.

Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2023 DW Passes Earth with a 1 in 83 Collision Risk in 2032
NASA has identified a potentially hazardous asteroid named 2023 DW, which has a 1 in 83 chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. The asteroid was recently discovered and is estimated to be about 500 meters in diameter. While the risk is considered low, NASA is continuing to monitor the asteroid’s trajectory and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
