A small asteroid, called 2025 TP5, will safely fly by our planet Oct. 15 at about a quarter of the distance to the moon.

An asteroid about the size of a small building zoomed past Earth unnoticed by astronomers last week, coming as close to the Earth’s surface as the International Space Station, according to the European Space Agency. The space rock dubbed 2025 TF was ...

The asteroid, now named 2025 TF, flew over Antarctica on October 1, at exactly 00:47:26 UTC. This incident was more surprising as it passed at an altitude of just 428 kilometers or 266 miles. This falls within the orbit of the International Space Station,

But theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, of Harvard University, thinks that the mystery object has just carried out a move that is reminiscent of an ‘ alien spacecraft’ braking.

According to NASA, "Asteroid 2024 YR4 is now too far away to observe with either space or ground-based telescopes. The space agency expects to make further observations when the asteroid’s orbit around the Sun brings it back into the vicinity of Earth in 2028.

The Earth often gets a few visitors in the solar system, but some stick around for a while. Here's what to know about the 'quasi-moon.'

Orionids meteor shower offers chance to see shooting stars over SC this weekend, with the crescent moon still allowing views of Comet Lemmon.
