Its diameter in estimated in the 44 – 99 meters range, while the minimum distance will be reached on 25 Mar. 2023, at 19:52 UTC (source: Nasa/JPL). The significant size of this object will make it easy to observe with good binoculars and small telescopes a few hours before the fly-by.

The Virtual Telescope Project will show it live, online, a few hours after the close encounter, while already leaving us. This way, you can have a look from the comfort of your home.
