3D Orbital path
Size comparison
(2025 JK) is about 62% of 10-story building.
Hypothetical impact energy
Would likely explode in the atmosphere as a fireball (airburst). Minor ground damage possible.
What this means
This object passed at 40 LD — safely distant and of interest mainly to orbital surveys. No impact trajectory has been detected.

How we classify risk
Each object's risk class is computed locally from two NASA NeoWs signals: miss distance (in lunar distances) and estimated diameter. "Potentially hazardous" is NASA's own flag — applied when an object's orbit brings it within 0.05 AU of Earth and it's at least ~140 m across. That flag indicates monitoring interest, not an impact prediction.
Passes at a comfortable distance — routine flyby.
Close-but-comfortable. Interesting enough to highlight.
Inside 10 lunar distances — actively tracked.
Large object passing unusually close — refined each observation.
