## Caption

A basketball court-sized asteroid, 2026 JH2, is set to skim past Earth on Monday, coming within about a quarter of the distance to the Moon ☄️ The near-Earth object will fly at roughly 56,000 miles (90,000 km) from the planet - closer than some orbiting satellites - but poses no impact risk, scientists say. First spotted earlier this month in Arizona, the asteroid is being tracked closely by astronomers and is large enough to be viewed with a small telescope. #asteroid #science #news #space
