Two large asteroids to pass close to Earth on August 8, says NASA
NASA has announced that two sizable asteroids will make relatively close approaches to Earth on Friday, August 8, 2025. While both are moving at very high velocities, they objects pose no threat of collision according to a report published by Science News.
The first asteroid, designated 2025 OJ1, is estimated to measure around 300 feet in diameter, comparable to a 30-storey building. It is expected to pass at a distance of about 3.2 million miles from Earth, considered close in astronomical terms, according to NASA’s Near-Earth Object tracking system.
The second asteroid, 2019 CO1, measures approximately 200 feet across, similar in size to a large commercial aircraft. It will pass at an estimated 4.24 million miles from Earth on the same day.
NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office has confirmed there is no danger from either asteroid and continues to monitor thousands of near-Earth objects with advanced observation and tracking systems.
