Reply to comment by loosebolts in [NASA on Twitter] Newly-discovered asteroid 2023 DZ2 will pass Earth more than 100,000 miles (161,000 km) away–about half the distance to the Moon–making its close approach at 3:51 p.m. EDT (12:51 p.m. PDT) by ICumCoffee

Correct, so this post was created an hour before it passed.

Edit: it's now at a distance of more than 190.000 km again

I think that’s what confused me as the post time I saw on Apollo suggested it was posted after it had already passed :)
