A newly discovered asteroid designated 2025 UC11 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.017 lunar distances (0.00004 AU / 6 599 km / 4 101 miles) at 12:11 UTC on October 30, 2025. The object was first detected seven hours earlier by the JPL SynTrack Robotic Telescope in Auberry, California.

A bright green bolide, a natural meteoroid entering Earth’s atmosphere, illuminated the skies over Moscow, Russia, at around 00:30 UTC on October 27, 2025. The object produced several bright flashes and visible fragmentation as it moved across the sky, leaving a persistent trail. Analysis of multiple videos confirms its natural origin, distinguishing it from any satellite or rocket re-entry.

A newly-discovered asteroid designated 2025 TF made an extremely close approach to Earth at 00:49 UTC on October 1, 2025, reaching a nominal distance of 0.02 LD (0.00005 AU / 6 790 km / 4 220 miles) from Earth’s center -- equivalent to about 419 km (260 miles) above the surface over Antarctica. At this distance, it is now classified as the second-closest asteroid flyby ever recorded.

A bright daylight fireball was recorded at 17:49 UTC (14:49 LT) on September 9, 2025, over the Atlantic Ocean, off the northeastern coast of Brazil. NASA’s CNEOS data show the object released 0.44 kilotons of impact energy at an altitude of 24 km (15 miles). IMO and AMS received 10 reports from Ceará, with witnesses describing orange to blue colors, persistent trails, fragmentation, and sounds ranging from faint hissing to thunder-like booms.

An earthquake swarm with the strongest quake registered as an M4.6 quake struck the Campi Flegrei area in southern Italy on June 30, 2025, prompting evacuations and train delays in the region. It was the strongest tremor to strike the region in 40 years, surpassing the M4.4 quakes of March and May.

Schools in Santorini, Ios, Anafi, and Amorgos will remain closed at least until February 21, 2025, as the Greek government prepares for another meeting to assess seismic risks in the Aegean Sea near Santorini. Over 1 300 earthquakes were recorded with a magnitude above 3.0 in the sea area near Anydros since the beginning of the month, with the strongest reaching M5.3. The government also announced plans to build an emergency escape port in Santorini in addition to the new port under development.

Ios became the fourth island in the Aegean to be placed under a state of emergency on February 15, following the trend set by Santorini on February 6, Amorgos on February 12, and Anafi on February 13, due to the ongoing seismic activity in the region since late January 2025. On January 18, two M5.1 quakes were registered between Santorini and Amorgos, shaking the area with enough intensity to be felt across multiple islands.

Over 12 800 earthquakes were recorded in the Santorini-Amorgos zone between February 1 and 10, 2025, with the strongest, an M5.3 event, registered at 22:16 LT (20:16 UTC) on February 10. In response, the Hellenic Red Cross (HRC) has deployed rescue teams, social workers, and psychologists to assist residents in the affected region.

A very bright green fireball illuminated the sky over Pennsylvania, U.S., at 08:44 UTC (03:44 LT) on Saturday, February 1, 2025. The event was widely observed across multiple states and parts of Canada, with some witnesses reporting a ground-level flash shortly after it disappeared. Others described flashing lights moving toward the area, followed by helicopters hovering over what appeared to be a possible impact site near a lake.

Initial investigations of meteorites from the strewn field of asteroid 2024 BX1, which entered the Earth's atmosphere on January 21, 2024, near Ribbeck, northwest of Berlin, have identified them as rare aubrite achondrites. The findings were submitted to the Meteoritical Society's Nomenclature Committee on February 2, 2024, for official examination.
