Summary

ESA is closely monitoring several asteroids after new orbit calculations.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 briefly showed a measurable impact possibility for 2032 but has now been downgraded to “negligible risk.”

“Skyscraper-sized” 2025 FA22 made a safe near-Earth pass.

2025 TF flew past Earth at an altitude comparable to the ISS — one of the closest recorded approaches.

ESA confirms over 40,000 Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) have now been discovered.

The UN has declared 2029 the International Year of Asteroid Awareness, supported officially by ESA.
