Overview

• The Apollo-type asteroid measures about 210 feet across and will fly by at roughly 46,908 miles per hour within 393,000 miles of Earth.
• NASA ranks 2025 OW as the largest of five near-Earth objects making close approaches this week, highlighting the frequency of such encounters.
• JPL’s Asteroid Watch dashboard uses ground-based telescopes and the Goldstone Solar System Radar to refine orbital trajectories and predict future positions.
• Agency officials emphasize there is no impact risk and state that any genuine threat would trigger an immediate public alert.
• The asteroid will remain too faint for binoculars or backyard telescopes, requiring professional-grade instruments for observation.
