Asteroid 2025 QD8 safely passed near Earth on September 3, coming within 218,000 km—about 57% of the Earth-Moon distance—traveling at 45,080 km/h.

Measuring 17–38 meters, it posed no threat.

The flyby was streamed live by the Virtual Telescope Project, and NASA confirmed no impact risk from this or other known asteroids for the next century, The Jerusalem Post has reported.

Another small asteroid, 2025 QV5, about 11 meters wide, also passed safely at nearly twice the Earth-Moon distance.

Both encounters offered opportunities to study near-Earth objects and test detection systems.
