The Torino Scale is a method for calculating how dangerous it would be for Earth to be hit by an asteroid or comet. The only asteroid that currently has a Torino Scale rating of 1 (all others have 0 ratings) is the 2023 DW. The size of this asteroid is comparable to an Olympic-sized pool. The ESA estimates that the odds of it hitting the Earth on February 14, 2046 are one in 625.
