It is also known as the 'lost' asteroid, because it was only visible for 1.5 days before disappearing from NASA's view. The 314-meter asteroid had become too faint and hasn't been seen since then.

The condition enables astronomers to calculate its orbit and search for potential collisions with Earth. NASA's Near-Earth Object Studies Center has identified 89 potential impacts, including one impact that will occur on October 5, 2024.

Although it sounds somewhat worrying, there is actually nothing to be afraid of. One potential collision point was predicted to occur in 2019, but it did not happen. With the advancement of technology, astronomers have been able to predict the orbits of known objects up to around 100 years in the future.
