Size comparison
(2025 UM7) is about 148% of School bus.
Hypothetical impact energy
Would cause significant local destruction. Comparable to a large nuclear weapon.
Time until closest approach
(2025 UM7) will pass 60.5 LD from Earth on Wed, Apr 29 · 00:00 UTC
What this means
This object will pass at 61 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.
