A massive asteroid known as 52768 (1998 OR2) is set to safely pass Earth on June 2nd, according to NASA. Measuring up to 4 kilometers wide, the space rock is large enough to cause global devastation if it ever impacted our planet. Scientists confirm there is no danger, but the close approach is a powerful reminder of how important asteroid detection and planetary defense systems really are. The big question remains: Are we truly prepared for the next asteroid that might not miss?
