NASA CONFIRMS SAFE FLYBY OF ASTEROID 2025 PM2 Today, August 27, 2025, the world is turning its eyes to space as asteroid 2025 PM2 makes a remarkably close flyby of Earth. Measuring about 190 feet (58 meters) in diameter and hurtling through space at nearly 41,390 miles per hour, this asteroid has generated global attention and raised questions about Earth’s safety.According to NASA and reports from The Times of India and The Economic Times, 2025 PM2 will pass Earth at a distance of about 2.31 million miles—roughly ten times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. While this is considered a “close approach” in astronomical terms, scientists have confirmed that there is no collision risk.Instead, the event is being welcomed as a valuable research opportunity. Astronomers are using powerful telescopes and radar systems to observe the asteroid’s size, surface properties, and orbital path. Such data is vital to improving planetary defense strategies, which are designed to p...
