"No one should have any concern about it.". Use a GoTo telescope to locate these reference stars to locate the slow moving asteroid.
In about one hour, the near-Earth asteroid 2020 TE6 will have a extremely close, but safe, approach with our planet, reaching a minimum distance from the Earth of about 230000 km, 0.6 times the... On 21 Oct. 2020, the near-Earth Asteroid 2020 UA will have a extremely close, but safe, encounter with us, coming at about 46000 km from the Earth, 12% of the average lunar distance.

A single astronomical unit measures about 93 million miles (149.6 million km), which is the distance from the Sun to Earth. “This allows for the possibility of a future collision. If everyone reading this right now would donate something, our fundraiser would be done in a few days. Potentially hazardous asteroids are space rocks larger than 460ft (140m) across that pass Earth within 0.05 au. But tonight, the space rock is also being tracked by the Virtual Telescope Project. In other words, such objects are reasonably close and reasonably big. The Virtual Telescope is supported by UnitronItalia Instruments, Software Bisque, Seeweb and other sponsors. There will be closer approaches of asteroids in the future, including Apophis, which – although smaller – will pass very close to Earth in 2029. – The 2020 Jupiter – Saturn great conjunction (21 Dec. 2020), The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0 © 2006 - 2020 An idea by Gianluca Masi and Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory, Near-Earth asteroid 2020 UF3 extremely close encounter: a record setting observation- 22 Oct. 2020, Near-Earth Asteroid 2020 UF3 extremely close encounter: online observations – 22 Oct. 2020, NGC 514 and supernova SN 2020uxz: an image – 20 Oct. 2020, Near-Earth asteroid 2020 UA extremely close encounter: a memorable event- 20/21 Oct. 2020, Near-Earth asteroid 2020 UA extremely close encounter: a image – 19 Oct. 2020.

Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 is the largest known of all large Near-Earth Objects that’ll pass less than five times the Earth-moon distance over the next two centuries! The asteroid, estimated to measure up to 1.2 miles across, came within 3.9 million miles (6.29 million km) of our planet today (April 29). The asteroid is in the center of the image, visible as a sharp dot of light. What is its name’s meaning? The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0 Discover what the Virtual Telescope can do for you and your interest for the Cosmos: both professionals and amateur astronomers will find  an amazing tool, as well as first rate assistance and support, making the Virtual  Telescope a very highly respected facility in the world with a legendary reputation.

At its closest on April 29, the asteroid was 4 million miles (6 million km) from us, or about 16 times the Earth-moon distance. The 2020 Jupiter – Saturn great conjunction: online observation – 21 Dec. 2020. To celebrate the 2020 edition of Asteroid Day, marking its 6th Anniversary, the Virtual Telescope Project, the leading facility in the world sharing live, online the most spectacular near-Earth asteroids and their close encounters with our home planet, will officially offer you “A Journey Across the Near-Earth Asteroids”, through our Solar System. And do we need to say there are a bunch of objects like this?
