A 100-foot-wide asteroid named 2025 QV9 passed close by Earth at over 10,000 mph—but experts say it posed no threat. Its trajectory was well outside any danger zone, and scientists had been tracking it closely. The event serves as a reminder of how important early warning systems are for near-Earth objects. Astronomers globally used this opportunity to test detection tools and public communication plans. While it was dramatic in headlines, this flyby turns out to be a mostly peaceful moment for Earth’s space guardians.
