• The European Space Agency has classified asteroid 2025 FA22, discovered in March 2025, as one of the top five asteroids posing a long-term risk, with a low-probability impact date of September 19, 2089.
• 2025 FA22 will make a close approach to Earth on September 18, 2025, offering scientists a critical opportunity to refine its trajectory and assess its potential risk.
• Both asteroids are categorized as potentially hazardous objects due to their size and proximity under NASA's guidelines for near-Earth objects.
• Global planetary-defense programs, including ESA's and NASA's, continue to monitor and refine data on thousands of near-Earth objects to mitigate future impact risks.
