Frequently asked questions
How close does 2025 OW come to Earth?
Its next notable close approach is on 2026-Jul-30, when it passes about 16.0 lunar distances from Earth — roughly 6,166,130 km. 2025 OW is currently about 144 lunar distances away — the live orbit and distance are shown above.
Is 2025 OW going to hit Earth?
No impact is predicted. 2025 OW is not on any impact-risk watchlist. Its trajectory is continuously refined as new observations are gathered, and predicted close approaches are calculated decades ahead. Its live position and orbit are shown above.
How big is 2025 OW?
2025 OW is estimated at about 70 m across — roughly the height of the Statue of Liberty. Size estimates are derived from how bright the asteroid appears and refined by radar and thermal measurements when it passes close to Earth.
What kind of orbit does 2025 OW have?
2025 OW is APO object. It orbits the Sun once every 1.00 years, on an elliptical path that reaches beyond Earth’s orbit and swings back toward the Sun. The interactive orbit diagram above shows where it is right now.
Can I see 2025 OW through a telescope?
Most of the time 2025 OW is far too faint to see, but during a close approach it can brighten enough for amateur telescopes. Check the close-approach date above, then plan your night with our sky and space-weather tools.
