An asteroid passed by closer to Earth this month than most large telecom satellites, and our telescopes didn't spot the space rock until it already had us in its rear view.
For instance, the bolide that exploded in the atmosphere over Russia in 2013 was probably about 10 times the size of 2023 AV, yet only a small boulder-size piece made it all the way to the surface.

Countless asteroids keep zooming past the Earth at blistering speeds and close distances, posing potential risk towards the planet. Although these space rocks frequently buzz Earth, most of them burn up in the Earth's atmosphere itself.
The smaller asteroids also are destructive as they possess the capability of causing potential damage, especially if they crash in a densely populated area. NASA has now warned that an asteroid is headed for Earth today.

Tianwen-2: China's Near-Earth asteroid and… | The Planetary Society
China is gearing up for an ambitious combined mission to collect samples from a near-Earth asteroid, deliver the material to Earth, and then head off back into deep space to study a comet.
Tianwen-1 , the country's first interplanetary mission, launched in July 2020. It was a double mission: sending an orbiter and a rover to Mars to attempt two major exploration milestones with a single shot. Tianwen-2 will similarly aim for two birds with one stone.
