This is the 10th<\/sup> closest asteroid flyby in the past 12 months, the 85th<\/sup> known to fly past Earth within 1 lunar distance since the start of the year and the third so far this month.<\/p>\n

Asteroid 2025 PU1 was first observed at GINOP\u2011KHK, Piszkesteto in Hungary at 23:55 UTC on August 13 \u2014 about 4 hours after it made the closest approach.<\/p>\n

The asteroid belongs to the Apollo class of asteroids and has an estimated diameter between 2 and 3 m (6.6\u20139.8 feet). This size places it among the smaller asteroids recorded passing within 1 LD of Earth this year.<\/p>\n

Its next approach to Earth is expected on April 3, 2036, at a distance of 0.080 AU.<\/p>\n
