Asteroid 2025 SC79 has been discovered hiding inside Venus' orbit. It completes its revolution around Sun every 128 days, making it the second-fastest known asteroid. Observed using Dark Energy Camera, the asteroid is estimated to be about 700 metres in diameter. As per researchers, such twilight asteroids could carry impact risks if nudged into Earth-crossing orbits by planetary gravity effects.
