2023 FW 13 is an asteroid that was spotted on March 28, 2023, from the Pan-STARRS telescope at Hawaii, United States. It circles the sun in sync with Earth in such a way that it appears to orbit Earth, but well outside Earth's Hill sphere , making it a quasi-satellite .
It brightened to apmag 15.3 on 2023-Apr-24. ^ Mercury also will pass 260.9 LD from Earth on January 8, 244.4 LD from Earth on September 3, and 263.2 LD from Earth on December 23. Mercury makes a closest approach to Earth about every 116 days. ^ The asteroid with the greatest chance of impacting Earth in 2023 is 2016 LP10 (4-meters in diameter ...
