67-meter asteroid LN6 set to skim past Earth on the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s yahrzeit
NASA’s asteroid tracker says 2003 LN6, about 67 meters in diameter, will pass Earth at a distance of a little over 1.4 million kilometers on June 18, 2026—the yahrzeit of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. It’s a monitored near‑Earth object posing no danger, with planetary-defense context (including the DART mission) noted to illustrate how scientists protect the planet.
