It has been officially designated 52768 (1998 OR2) and will cross Earth’s orbit without any real danger of impact.

In the remote event of impact with planet Earth, studies show that it could almost completely destroy it.

A 23-year-old student discovers 17 planets, one similar to Earth.

NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies has recently detected an unusually large asteroid that is expected to orbit Earth in April of this year.

Its actual size is estimated to be between 1.5 and 4 kilometers in diameter, as indicated on the space agency’s website.

It is traveling at a speed of 8.7 kilometers per second and is estimated to approach our planet on June 2nd of this year.

Compared to other asteroids, to illustrate the difference, the Chelyabinsk asteroid, which hit Siberia in 2013

and caused nearly 1,500 injuries and extensive destruction to buildings, was about 15 meters wide and 17 meters long.

However, the danger of this asteroid, named 52768 (1998 OR2), impacting planet Earth is quite remote. According to calculations made by NASA experts,

the asteroid will pass at a distance greater than the equivalent distance between the Moon and our planet, so we cannot consider ourselves in any real danger.

The asteroid 52768 (1998 OR2) is indeed a large Near-Earth Object (NEO) that has caught public attention in the past due to its size and close approach. Here’s a clear summary and clarification of the information you’ve shared:

🔭 What is 52768 (1998 OR2)?

Type: Near-Earth Asteroid (classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid due to its size and orbit)
Estimated Size: Between 1.5 and 4 kilometers in diameter
Speed: Around 8.7 kilometers per second
Closest Approach (as in past records): It passed safely by Earth on April 29, 2020, at a distance of about 6.3 million kilometers (about 16 times the distance between Earth and the Moon)

🌍 Could it destroy Earth if it hit?

Yes, an asteroid of this size could cause global devastation if it were to directly impact Earth. It would not necessarily “destroy the planet” entirely, but it could cause massive climate effects, tsunamis, firestorms, and even a mass extinction, depending on the impact location.
However, the risk of impact is currently extremely low. NASA and other space agencies track such objects closely.

🚀 Why the comparison to Chelyabinsk?

The Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013 was only about 15–20 meters wide, yet it caused 1,500 injuries (mostly from broken glass) and damage to over 7,000 buildings.
1998 OR2 is hundreds of times larger, so the comparison is used to highlight how much more destructive it could be if it were on a collision course—which it is not.

🛰️ Should we be worried?

No. According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS):

1998 OR2’s orbit is well known, and it will not impact Earth for the foreseeable future.
It has been monitored since 1998, and its path is predictable.

If you’re reading or seeing articles suggesting imminent danger, it’s likely sensationalized or outdated. NASA and similar organizations would issue clear warnings if there were any credible threat.

Would you like a list of currently tracked asteroids or updates on potential future close approaches?

Absolutely—here’s a roundup of what’s currently known about tracked near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and upcoming close approaches, along with relevant context to keep things clear and grounded.

Recent Notable Flybys (2025)

Several asteroids have made relatively close passes by Earth this year, though none posed any threat:

2025 OS flew by on July 19, 2025, at just 0.03 lunar distances (≈10,500 km)—surprisingly close, but entirely safe. newquayweather.com
Earlier in the year, 2025 KF passed at 0.3 lunar distances on May 21, 2025 (~114,000 km). newquayweather.com
Other close flybys included 2025 HH on April 17, 2025, at 0.07 lunar distances (~27,800 km). newquayweather.com

Upcoming Close Approaches

Within the Next Few Months:

According to NEO Close Approaches (TheSkyLive):

Date	Asteroid	Distance (km)	Lunar Distances (LD)
July 25, 2025	2025 OF2	489,227 km	1.27 LD
July 28, 2025	2025 OW	632,687 km	1.65 LD
July 30, 2025	2025 OU4	700,222 km	1.82 LD
Aug 7, 2025	2025 OT4	1.49 million km	3.87 LD
Aug 12, 2025	2025 OR4	1.34 million km	3.48 LD

NASA’s Asteroid Watch also lists close approaches (in miles):

July 28, 2025:
- (2025 OW) – ~393,000 mi (~633,000 km)
- (2018 BE5) – ~2.58 million mi (~4.15 million km)
- (2025 OU2) – ~3.19 million mi (~5.13 million km)
July 30, 2025:
- (2025 OL1) – ~1.29 million mi (~2.07 million km)
- (2025 OX3) – ~2.35 million mi (~3.78 million km) Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Asteroids of Higher Concern

While most asteroids pose no risk, a few historically noteworthy objects include:

99942 Apophis will pass remarkably close on April 13, 2029, at about 31,600 km above Earth—closer than geostationary satellites. However, all impact risk has been ruled out for at least the next century. WikipediaStarlust
2024 YR4 had a temporary impact probability for December 2032, which has since been drastically reduced. Some reports indicate the risk dropped from ~3% to as low as 0.0017% or even 0.004%, depending on the source. Still, it’s being closely watched for future approaches. The GuardianNew York PostHouston Chronicle
(29075) 1950 DA—a 2 km-diameter asteroid—will approach on March 2, 2032, at about 0.076 AU (~11 million km). There is no significant impact risk; earlier high-risk estimates have been downgraded over time. Wikipedia
2022 AP7, comparable in size to the Pentagon (≈1.17 km), could pose a catastrophic threat—but only thousands of years from now, with virtually no present-day hazard. Starlust

Key Takeaways

Numerous asteroids pass near Earth each year—even within just a few lunar distances—but none present an actual danger in the foreseeable future.
NASA’s CNEOS (Asteroid Watch and Eyes on Asteroids) provide real-time tracking and planetary defense assessments, confirming no known threats in the coming decades. Jet Propulsion LaboratoryOlhar Digital
Some objects (like Apophis, 2024 YR4, 1950 DA) garner attention due to their size or orbital characteristics—but continued observations keep risk assessments updated and typically reduce uncertainty.
