Initially, scientists gave the asteroid only a one in 1200 chance of striking earth, but the odds keep getting better that it will. Impact from the 2023 DW would be comparable to the Tunguska 12-megaton event that struck a Siberian forest 114 years ago and destroyed 80 million trees.2023 DW is currently at the top of NASA’s Risk List with a 1 on the Torino scale, which means there is no cause for public concern at this time.
