The Debrief
The space object, officially designated Asteroid 2025 FA22, is expected to make its near approach at 3:41 AM Eastern Time in the U.S., bringing it a little more than twice as far from Earth as the Moon.
At no time during its pass will the object represent a threat, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).
An Asteroid That Raised AlarmsDiscovered in March, Asteroid 2025 FA22 was initially spotted with the Pan-STARRS 2 telescope.
Based on this small impact probability, the ESA temporarily elevated 2025 FA22 to the top of the Risk List maintained by the ESA.
As 2025 FA22 passes Earth, astronomers will train their telescopes on the object to observe qualities that include its motion, brightness, and position during its journey.
