A newly discovered asteroid named 2017 DG16 will flyby Earth at a very close distance of 0.34 LD (130 560 km / 81 126 miles) from the surface of our
planet at 21:08 UTC on February 23, 2017. This is the fifth known near-Earth asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance since January 8, 2017.
2017 DG16 was first observed by Mt. Lemmon Survey on February 21. The estimated size of this asteroid is between 2 and 8 m (6.5 - 26.2 feet).
It will flyby Earth at a speed (relative to the Earth) of 6.91 km/s. This object belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids, Earth-crossing asteroids that
have an orbital semi-major axis greater than that of the Earth (mt 1 AU) but perihelion distances less than the Earth's aphelion distance (q lt 1.017 AU).
