An asteroid called 2026JH2, discovered May 10 by astronomers in Arizona, will pass within 91,593 kilometers of Earth on Monday, about one-quarter the distance to the moon. Experts confirm the bus-sized space rock poses no danger and such close passes occur several times yearly, though they were previously undetectable before advanced survey technology.
