IN A NUTSHELL 🌕 NASA identifies a potential threat from a high-speed asteroid that could collide with the Moon. Telescope observations have revolutionized how we view asteroid collisions and planetary defense strategies. A collision with the Moon would create a spectacular crater but poses no risk to Earth. Asteroid 2024 YR4 offers a rare opportunity to test scientific theories on …

On Oct. 1, 2025, the small asteroid known as 2025 TF whizzed past Earth at a distance of only 266 miles (428 kilometers) from our planet — roughly the same altitude as the International Space Station. For a few fleeting moments over Antarctica, the near-Earth asteroid came closer than most functioning satellites. What is it? 2025 TF is a small …

Asteroid 2025 TF flew over Antarctica at 00:47:26 UTC ± 18 s on 1 October, coming as close as 428 ± 7 km to Earth’s surface. This is a similar altitude to the orbit of the International Space Station (approx. 370—460 km). The asteroid is roughly 1 to 3 metres across and was first spotted by the Catalina Sky Survey …

Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter lies a ring-shaped region called the asteroid belt, home to the vast majority of our solar system’s space rocks. The asteroid belt is as old as the solar system itself, having formed from leftover material that failed to coalesce into a full-grown planet due to Jupiter’s gravitational influence. Over the past 4.6 billion …

A small asteroid just gave the Earth a close buzz. The little space rock, called 2025 TF, safely passed within roughly 250 miles (400 km) of our planet on Tuesday (Sept. 30) at 8:49 p.m. EDT (Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 0049 GMT), according to NASA data. That flyby puts the asteroid at the same approximate altitude as the International Space …
