The recently discovered asteroid 2025 QD8 will zoom closely by Earth on Wednesday. However, there is no need to be concerned.

An asteroid the size of a commercial jet passed closer to Earth than the Moon on September 3, 2025, in a high-speed flyby that drew global attention from skywatchers and astronomers alike. According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS),

The Virtual Telescope Project is set to host a free YouTube stream covering the flyby starting at 7 p.m. ET (23:00 GMT) on Sept. 2. The stream will feature live views of the asteroid as it approaches Earth, as captured by the organization's suite of robotic telescopes in Manciano, Italy.

A newly discovered asteroid, 2025 QD8, roughly the size of a commercial jet, is set to pass Earth at a distance of 135,465 miles. While classified as a potential "city killer" due to its size, NASA assures there's no impact risk.
