New object, current 1-in-625 chance of impact, impact could cause local death and damage, more observational data will refine the trajectory estimations.
I can't really tell how news-like this is. Mostly, my question would be: this object is called 2023 DW, does it mean we went 2023 AA, AB, ..., DA, DB, ... DW? If so it's interesting that only ~100 new asteroids are observed and labeled so far this year. Maybe the categorization is somehow different than I understand.
