An asteroid is due to pass the Earth on Wednesday, flying by at a distance a little more than that of the moon's orbit.

The asteroid, named 2023 HV5, is forecast by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) to pass by the Earth at a distance of 1.1 lunar distances, or 1.1 times the distance between the Earth and moon.
