That is exactly why the event was so exciting for many people: it was spectacular, but not dangerous. Asteroid 2026 JH2 was also interesting for amateur astronomers. With a suitable telescope, it could be observed from Earth. Several observatories and online projects reported on the close approach. This turned the asteroid into not only a topic f...
