A newly discovered asteroid just whizzed past Earth, marking the second-closest asteroid flyby on record, astronomers say.

The asteroid flew over Antarctica just before 9 p.m. ET on Sept. 30, about 266 miles (428 kilometers) above Earth’s surface, according to the European Space Agency.

"This is a similar altitude to the orbit of the International Space Station, and one of the closest approaches ever recorded," the agency said.

2025 TF was first spotted by the Catalina Sky Survey a few hours ** after ** it flew by Earth. It was then observed by European astronomers using the Las Cumbres Observatory telescope in Siding Spring, Australia.
