The space rock, estimated to be the size of a school bus to a basketball court, has prompted intensified monitoring efforts as it speeds through near-Earth space.

Scientists say while the asteroid poses no confirmed threat, its unexpected detection highlights ongoing challenges in tracking smaller near-Earth objects before they pass our planet.
