NASA is closely watching a bus-sized asteroid that is set to safely pass Earth on Friday as it joins the ranks of near-Earth objects that are being monitored regularly. The asteroid, known as 2026 KC1, is thought to be approximately 27 feet in diameter and will pass by the Earth at speeds over 45,000 miles per hour. Although the news is sensational, experts say that the object poses no threat whatsoever to the planet. Occasions such as this are not rare in astronomy, but they rarely fail to generate a public interest in astronomy because they show how closely the scientists watch what happens in their part of the universe.
