Asteroid 2025 FV12 was first observed at Catalina Sky Survey, Arizona, on March 27 \u2014 about 17 hours before the flyby.<\/p>\n

The object belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids and has an estimated diameter between 2.4 and 5.5 m (7.9\u201318 feet).<\/p>\n

This is the 40th<\/sup> known asteroid to fly past Earth within 1 lunar distance (LD) since the start of the year and the 14th<\/sup> so far this month. It is also one of two asteroids that passed within 1 LD of Earth today, occurring approximately 12 hours before 2025 FB8, which passed at a distance of 0.3 LD.<\/p>\n

Three such asteroids flew past us on March 24, with the closest being 2025 FK3 at 0.3 LD.<\/p>\n
