The fastest asteroid to pass within 1 LD of Earth in 2025 was 2025 BP 4 that passed Earth with a velocity with respect to Earth of 22.08 km/s (49,400 mph), [4] while the slowest bypass within lunar distance was that of 2025 DS 1 at a velocity with respect to Earth of 3.94 km/s (8,800 mph). [5]
2024 YR 4 is an asteroid with an estimated diameter of 40 to 90 metres (130 to 300 ft) that is classified as an Apollo-type (Earth-crossing) near-Earth object.From 27 January to 20 February 2025, it had an impact rating of 3 on the Torino scale, with a maximum estimated probability of 3.1% that it would impact Earth on 22 December 2032.
The lists below are based on the close approach database of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), in its state as of 27 February 2025. [2] The database lists any approaches with a minimum distance less than 0.2 astronomical units (AU) from 1900 and until a century into the future which have been derived by orbit calculations.
The asteroid, called 2024 YR4, is orbiting on a path that will bring it close to Earth in 2032, with scientists previously calculating impact probability at around 3%, the highest value ever ...
On Friday, two asteroids are expected to pass near Earth, according to the updated list. Asteroid 2025 BR2, with JPL describes as an "airplane-size" space rock about 67 feet long, is expected to ...
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global winter that affects our planet for years. ... February 5, 2025 at 4:04 PM ...
The space agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies reported that an object between 130 and 300 feet across, which had been labeled 2024 YR4, was moving along a path that gave it as high as ...
