Upcoming Asteroid Flybys, New Comet Sighting, and Interstellar Visitor Updates

Understand the risks and timing associated with near-Earth objects like asteroid 2025 FA22 and 99942 Apophis, and learn how to spot the newly visible comet SWAN 25B appearing this season.

Short Summary

  • Secure awareness of asteroid 2025 FA22’s safe, but close, approach on September 18th.
  • Prepare for observation of Comet SWAN 25B, which is rapidly brightening and may soon be visible to the naked eye.
  • Track Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS as it approaches its perihelion in late October 2025. This update focuses on critical celestial events occurring in our local interplanetary neighborhood, contrasting a safe close pass (FA22) with the significant event (Apophis) scheduled for 2029. Stefan Burns frames these events as necessary wake-up calls regarding hidden cosmic potential.

Description

Asteroid 2025 FA22 will fly within 2.2 lunar distances of Earth on September 18th at a velocity of ~10.8 km/s. This asteroid should pose no danger to Earth during this close fly by, but it's a stark reminder of the chaos and destructive potential hidden not only in the cosmos but even within our local interplanetary neighborhood. A new comet - SWAN 25B - has also just been observed and it's brightening nicely since discovery, getting close to the visual magnitude required to be visible to the unaided eye! Also a conspicuous wave of asteroids have been and will be flying by the Earth over the next few days, definitely a significant increase over normal background levels. All of this occurring as the third ever interstellar object observed - 3I/ATLAS - is shooting through the asteroid belt and is approaching the inner Solar System at incredible speed, setting up for perihelion on October 29th, 2025.

We are certainly vulnerable. No need to fear as we cannot do anything about it. Death is only the end of the organics but not of the energy we are made of. Cheers !

You never miss a beat, Stefan. You’re a scholar of geophysics— expanding your wisdom of it everyday & providing some of the most dependable critical analysis of current events available online. But you are too humble to admit that 😁

Hey guys! ☄ Due to popular demand, the super comfy 3I/ATLAS long-sleeve 100% cotton shirt is now available! https://www.earthevolution.com/inventory/3i-atlas-impact-100-cotton-long-sleeve-shirt ALSO the orbital data for Comet SWAN25B has just been released (as I publish this video) and can be viewed with a link in the video description. SWAN25B is flying towards Earth right now and will make its closest approached of 0.27 AU (just behind Earth's orbit and above the ecliptic plane) on October 21st, the same day as the 3I/ATLAS superior conjunction and New Moon. Wild!! Clearly this is a very dynamic October we're about to enter into, I'll keep you up to date every step of the way 😉

Thank you for the no BS approach. You don’t down play facts nor hype it up. It’s hard to find unbiased astonomy online, so thank you.

Fun fact about to Tunguska event expedition, it was the worst mosquito population of anywhere on earth. As big as hornets, sky would darken by how thick the swarms were.
