What are the key details about the asteroid that triggered the first ever impact notification in the International Asteroid Warning Network?
This asteroid has a 3.1% probability of impacting Earth (up from 2.3%), making it the second highest probability ever recorded after a 2004 asteroid with 4% probability. It's roughly the size of the Statue of Liberty or a football field and has triggered the first asteroid impact notification within the International Asteroid Warning Network since its creation in 2013. NASA is using the James Webb Space Telescope to gather more data, and the probability is expected to decrease with better observations. Despite concerns, there's still a 96.9% chance it will miss Earth.
