Question Asteroids passing earth, April 2020

on April 18/19th there will be a large asteroid passing earth.
Quote:
A fairly large asteroid discovered nearly three years ago will safely pass about 1.1 million miles from Earth on April 19. That's about 4.6 times the Earth-moon distance.
on April 29th there will be an even larger asteroid passing earth.
Named 52768 (1998 OR2)
Quote:
is an asteroid on an eccentric orbit, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Amor group with a diameter of 2–4 kilometers. It was discovered on 24 July 1998
