A list of known near-Earth asteroid close approaches less than 1 lunar distance (384,400 km or 0.00257 AU) from Earth in 2011. [note 1] Rows highlighted red indicate objects which were not discovered until after closest approach Rows highlighted yellow indicate objects discovered less than 24 hours before closest approach
(367789) 2011 AG 5, provisional designation 2011 AG 5, is a sub-kilometer asteroid, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group. [1] It has a diameter of about 140 meters (460 ft). [4] It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 21 December 2012 and as such it now has a rating of 0 on the Torino Scale ...
A list of known near-Earth asteroid close approaches less than 1 lunar distance (0.0025696 AU (384,410 km; 238,860 mi)) from Earth in 2023. [1] As most asteroids passing within a lunar distance are less than 40 meters in diameter, they generally are not detected until they are within several million km of Earth. Objects coming from the ...
A small asteroid was visible in northern Siberia on Tuesday, as it closed in on its collision course with Earth. The European Space Agency issued an alert for the 27-inch asteroid at 4:27 a.m. ET ...
An asteroid roughly the size of a skyscraper will pass close by Earth on Friday, but there's no risk of it hitting the planet. NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies estimates that the ...
Earth has a new “mini-moon” after an asteroid has joined our orbit. The object, known as 2024 PT5, has been chasing after us for years. Now, it has become close enough to be pulled in by our ...
The orbit of 2011 GA makes it a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) that is predicted to pass within 0.02 AU (3,000,000 km; 1,900,000 mi) of the Earth on Oct 14, 2023. [4] For comparison, the distance to the Moon is about 0.0026 AU (384,400 km). The asteroid passed within 0.06 AU (9,000,000 km; 5,600,000 mi) from Earth around October 15, 1977.
