2025 FA22 comes within 1 million kilometres

Wayne Hawley

2025 FA22 discovered by the Pan-STARRS 2 telescope in March 2025, size is estimated to be 130 to 290 metres across. Closest approach (approx 930000 km) was on 2025 09 18. It was initially though to have a chance of impacting the Earth in 2089 but this has now been ruled out. The video and still image were kindly provided by Mohammad Odeh of the Al Khatim Observatory in Abu Dhabi.
