There's a small asteroid that will be passing by Earth on 01/26/23. You can view its position here:

27 January 2023 00:28 ± 00:02 UT.

So that would be 7:28pm Eastern Time Jan 26, although you won't be able to see it without a telescope.

I used to get emails from the Minor Planet Mailing List that would discuss all these types of near-Earth objects. It's run by the guy who was the first person to discover an asteroid before it crashed into Earth, Richard Kowalski.

Wait, can we get clarification on this green comet. I heard it’s coming next week. Is this 2023 BU asteroid the green comet?

no idea but may be worth a trip to the beach to vibe and sky watch for me

 

[lemartinsports]

[Super_Position _98]

Didn't see the asteroid. The green comet should be visible in the next few days on a clear night sky at sunset. Supposed to be in the North
