What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- What is the precise size and chemical composition of asteroid 2025 PN7?
- How long will 2025 PN7 remain in its current co-orbital path with Earth?
- Who discovered 2025 PN7, and on what date or through which observing program?
- What evidence and uncertainty support the conclusion that its co-orbital behavior dates to the 1960s?
- Was the asteroid entirely unobserved before 2025, or only unrecognized as this object or as an Earth co-orbital?
