This orbital diagram from CNEOS's close approach viewer shows 2023 BU's trajectory – in red – during its close approach with Earth on Jan. 26, 2023. The asteroid will pass about 10 times closer to Earth than the orbit of geosynchronous satellites, shown in green line.
This view from NASA's Scout system shows the deflection of asteroid 2023 BU's trajectory – in red – caused by Earth's gravity. The orbit of geosynchronous satellites is shown in green, and the orbit of the Moon is depicted by the gray oval.
Asteroid to make extremely close approach to Earth this week - ABC News
An asteroid the size of a box truck is slated to get very close to Earth this week, according to scientists.
Davide Farnocchia, a navigation engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who developed the agency's Scout impact hazard assessment system, said in a statement that even though this comet's approach is very close to the planet, Scout ruled out 2023 BU as one that would make an impact.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — (AP) — An asteroid the size of a delivery truck will whip past Earth on Thursday night, one of the closest such encounters ever recorded.
NASA said Wednesday that this newly discovered asteroid will zoom 2,200 miles (3,600 kilometers) above the southern tip of South America. That's 10 times closer than the bevy of communication satellites circling overhead.

Asteroid-Mining Startup to Test Its Technology in Space This Year | PCMag
Humanity might be inching closer to mining an actual asteroid. A startup called AstroForge plans on demonstrating its asteroid refining technology in space with a mission this April.
The California-based startup is preparing to send its asteroid mining equipment on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The goal is to validate the technology and perform a mock mining operation in zero gravity.
