A recently discovered (May 10) Asteroid 2026 JH2 is calculated to cruise past Earth today, May 18th, coming closer than some satellites. The asteroid may reach an apparent magnitude of around 11 during its close approach so it may be visible with a telescope. Otherwise you could watch the close approach on Youtube starting at 4pm CDT, thanks to the Virtual Telescope Project. (https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsPz2nOxDA4
