Frequently asked questions
Is 2025 YN going to hit Earth?
No impact is predicted. 2025 YN 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 YN?
2025 YN is estimated at about 21 m across — about the size of a house. 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 YN have?
2025 YN is ATE object. It orbits the Sun once every 0.50 years, on an elliptical path that spends much of its time inside Earth’s orbit. The interactive orbit diagram above shows where it is right now.
Can I see 2025 YN through a telescope?
Most of the time 2025 YN 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.
