Two asteroids the size of Boeing 737 aircraft are passing by Earth. NASA considers them harmless.

The first asteroid, 2026 LD, is 52 meters in diameter and is 1.14 million km away from Earth — three times the distance to the Moon.

The second asteroid, 2026 KM3, is 34 meters in diameter and will pass at a distance of 2.35 million km.

Experts emphasize that these asteroids pose no threat. However, monitoring them is crucial for developing planetary defense systems.
