NASA says the upcoming flyby of asteroid 2025 OW—about 210 feet wide and passing Earth on July 28 at 393,000 miles—is routine and not a threat. Traveling at nearly 47,000 mph, it’s being closely tracked, but scientists stress there’s no cause for concern. NASA monitors multiple such asteroids weekly and emphasizes that near-Earth flybys are common, ABC News has reported. While 2025 OW won’t be visible to the public, a much closer and more exciting event is coming in 2029, when the larger asteroid Apophis will pass close enough to be seen with the naked eye.
