Asteroid 2004 TP1, estimated to be up to 430.6 metres across, is passing Earth today at a distance of about 9.3 million kilometres. The object poses no threat, but near-Earth passes of this size are routinely tracked by NASA and space enthusiasts who share alerts under planetary defence topics.
Why now: Large near-Earth asteroid flybys attract attention because of ongoing public interest in planetary defence and NASA's asteroid tracking.
