A colossal asteroid, dwarfing the Eiffel Tower, is set for a safe flyby of Earth this weekend, June 27, 2026. Designated (152637) 1997 NC1, it will pass at a distance of 2.6 million kilometers. While posing no threat, its immense size makes this a significant celestial event, occurring only once every few years. Astronomers are keenly observing this rare encounter.
