A really big space rock is going to have a very close encounter with our planet on Monday. Based on current calculations, we are being told that we don’t have anything to be concerned about, but if this really big space rock actually hit a major city, it would cause a catastrophic amount of damage. So let’s hope that what the astronomers are telling us is correct.
Of course, this is not the only asteroid that has come uncomfortably close to Earth in 2026.
So far this year, a whopping 72 asteroids have flown past our planet at a distance of less than 1 lunar distance.

In other words, the level of traffic in our particular neighborhood has risen to a very alarming level.
In fact, on May 7th, an asteroid that was only discovered the day after it flew by us came within 0.114 lunar distances of the center of our planet…
Asteroid 2026 JM2 passed Earth at a distance of 0.114 LD (0.00029 AU / 43 800 km / 27 200 miles), from the center of our planet at 13:06 UTC on May 7, 2026, becoming the 4th closest known asteroid flyby within 1 lunar distance recorded so far this year. At its closest, the object was about 37 400 km (23 200 miles) above Earth’s surface, about 1 600 km (1 000 miles) outside the altitude used by geostationary satellites.
2026 JM2 is one of 72 known asteroids to pass within 1 lunar distance of Earth in 2026 and the 4th closest so far this year, following 2026 EM, which passed at 0.072 LD on March 7; 2026 HZ4, which passed at 0.077 LD on April 24; and 2026 DN5, which passed at 0.112 LD on February 22.
The object was first observed at JPL SynTrack Robotic Telescope, Auberry, at 07:02 UTC on May 8 — about 17 hours 56 minutes after closest approach.
That asteroid could have easily entered our atmosphere, and we never even saw it coming.
Now another one is rapidly approaching, and it is big.
According to the BBC, the asteroid that will come zipping past us on Monday is “about as big as a basketball court”…
An asteroid about as big as a basketball court is due to swing close to Earth this Monday, and will pass well within the orbit of the Moon.
Why isn’t this getting more attention from the mainstream media?
Apparently, this very large space rock has “enough mass to wipe out a city”…
Despite having enough mass to wipe out a city it was only identified by observatories a few days ago, raising concerns about the early detection of potentially hazardous asteroids.
The reason why most of us are just learning about this asteroid now is that it was just discovered.
