NASA is closely tracking asteroid 52768 (1998 OR2), a massive object measuring between 1.5 and 4 kilometers. While experts assure the public there’s no immediate danger, its close approach on June 2 serves as a reminder of our vulnerability to cosmic threats. Despite monitoring its orbit, humanity’s defense systems against such hazards are still developing, and small delays in response could leave us exposed in the future. This near miss raises the critical question: Are we truly ready for an asteroid that doesn’t miss?
