Asteroid 2026 JH2: We Had Zero Warning #asteroid #planet #shortsAdded:
Astronomers are tracking a newly-discovered threat that just blindsided our detection systems.
Asteroid 2026 JH2 was spotted just days ago right before crossing inside the orbit of the moon. Measuring 35 m wide, this massive cosmic boulder is the exact same size class as the catastrophic Chelyabinsk meteor. It screamed past Earth at a blistering 31,000 km/h, missing us by a mere 90,000 km. The planetary defense network confirms it safely missed us this time, but what happens when the next one has zero warning?
