NASA's close flyby of the asteroid 2025 MA90, about 280 feet in size, offers scientists a valuable opportunity to study Near-Earth Objects and improve asteroid trajectory predictions, despite the asteroid posing no threat to Earth.
NASA's asteroid tracker predicts that the asteroid 2025 MA90, roughly the size of 145 Elmos or about 88.8 meters in diameter, will pass safely over six million kilometers from Earth on July 15. While large enough to cause significant damage if it were to impact, current estimates suggest it poses no threat, highlighting ongoing challenges in planetary defense efforts like the DART mission.
