It was first spotted by the same amateur astronomer in Crimea, Gennady Borisov, who discovered an interstellar comet in 2019. Within a few days, dozens of observations were made by astronomers around the world, allowing them to refine the asteroid&#8217;s orbit.<\/p>\n<p>The asteroid&#8217;s path drastically will be altered by Earth&#8217;s gravity once it zips by. Instead of circling the sun every 359 days, it will move into an oval orbit lasting 425 days, according to NASA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                  \u00a9 2023 The Associated Press.
