This morning, Asteroid 2026 TG9 just passed Earth with a close distance of 227,812 kilometers as reported by TheSkyLive.com about an hour ago.
NASA originally estimated close approach to be 306,152.5 kilometers!
With the current signals from space, we see heavy traffic of objects and possible fireball sightings. Within the next few hours there should be no fragments from the possible asteroid as the object is already speeding away from Earth.
Asteroid 2026 TP6 arrives tomorrow with the same estimated distance as 2026 TG9 and currently can be viewed from Earth.
With these two Near Earth Objects close to each other, you can bet there is fragments or smaller objects that orbits around these that can be effected by large gravitational pull from Earth.
Expect fireballs today and tomorrow.
