Asteroids that enter Earth's atmosphere but do not reach the ground typically cause localized damage through airburst shockwaves, as demonstrated by the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor event, which shattered thousands of windows and caused injuries but posed no global threat; however, asteroids passing Earth at safe distances, like Asteroid 2026 JH2 at 90,000 km, pose no danger.

Asteroid 2026 JH2 Just Missed Usβ¦ π°οΈ #shortsAdded:
A school bus sized asteroid is hurtling past Earth right now. [music] Don't worry, asteroid 2026 JH2 is making a completely safe flyby at 90,000 km away.
But what if a rock this size actually entered our atmosphere? It wouldn't end the world. [music] It would air burst in the sky like the infamous Chelyabinsk meteor, releasing a massive shock wave.
It could shatter thousands of windows and cause local injuries, but zero global danger. Subscribe to Fact Vault for real space updates.
