"No one spotted space rock 2023 NT1 until two days after it missed us."

"This asteroid, named 2023 NT1, passed by us at only one-fourth of the distance from Earth to the moon."

"The study team estimated that, if NT1 hit Earth, it could have the energy of anywhere from 4 to 80 intercontinental ballistic missiles."
