Detailed view for this entity.
“this is a story of a newly discovered 2025 MN45, a space rock that is currently rewriting what we know about the internal strength of certain types of asteroids.”
“Although technically this has been seen before with this image from 2017 showing us a single 175 second exposure from before, it was actually clear if this was an asteroid or something else entirely. So it was officially only confirmed in 2025.”
“this is actually not that unusual. This is a main belt asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter and is approximately 710 m across.”
“is approximately 710 m across or about 44 mi in diameter.”
“this asteroid 2025 MN45 right now definitely shattered everyone's expectations. This 700 meter wide fast spinning boulder seems to prove the existence of very strange asteroids and asteroids that nobody imagined and nobody knew existed.”

“So yeah, if this hits the planet, it's most likely going to result in a massive explosion. This is what we usually call a city killer asteroid.”
