Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2025 BC10 close encounter: an image – 30 Mar. 2025.
Next 5 Apr. 2025, the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2025 BC10 will have a close, but obviously safe encounter with the Earth, coming as close as 3.7 millions of km from us. We imaged it and here we share our picture.
Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2025 BC10: 30 Mar. 2025.
The image above comes from a single 120-second exposure, remotely taken with the “Elena” (PlaneWave 17″ + Paramount MEII + SBIG STL-6303E) robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project. The telescope tracked the apparent motion of the asteroid, so it looks like a sharp dot of light, while stars leave short trails.
When we imaged it, asteroid 2025 BC10 was at about 11.5 million of km from us and safely approaching.
This 360-800 meters large asteroid will reach its minimum distance (about 3.7 millions of km, 9.6 times the average lunar distance) from us on 5 Apr. 2025, at 10:12 UTC (source: Nasa/JPL). Of course, there are no risks at all for our planet.
