Bus-Size Asteroid Flies By Earth, No Threat Confirmed by NASA
NASA tracked a roughly 140-foot asteroid, 2007 EG, as it passed about 1.06 million miles (roughly 1.7 million kilometers) from Earth on March 15, 2026. There was no threat detected, and it was part of routine planetary-defense monitoring of thousands of near-Earth objects. The asteroid’s Aten-class orbit crosses Earth’s path, and future close approaches are predicted, including in 2028 and 2043, with ongoing observations to refine its trajectory. ISRO plans to participate more in international asteroid missions.
