*🌑 Asteroid 2025 OT7 to Make Close Approach to Earth on August 5*

NASA is closely tracking asteroid 2025 OT7, a space rock estimated to be about 170 feet (52 meters) in diameter. It’s currently making a close flyby of Earth on August 5, 2025, moving at a speed of over 33,000 km/h.

Despite its proximity, NASA confirms there's no risk of collision. Events like these are part of the agency's ongoing efforts to monitor near-Earth objects (NEOs) and protect the planet from potential future threats.

This asteroid is a reminder of how dynamic and active our solar system is, and why planetary defense missions like NASA's DART and future detection technologies are becoming more important.

Stay tuned as scientists continue to study these cosmic visitors to better understand the universe — and protect Earth.
