Orbit diagram of 2024 YR 4. 2024 YR 4 orbits the Sun on an elliptical orbit that crosses Earth's orbit, making it an Apollo-type near-Earth object. [3] The asteroid has an orbital period of about 3.99 years and an orbital inclination of 3.41 degrees with respect to Earth's orbit . [3] The asteroid came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun ...
The object orbits the Sun but makes slow close approaches to the Earth–Moon system. Between 29 September (19:54 UTC) and 25 November 2024 (16:43 UTC) (a period of 1 month and 27 days) [4] it passed just outside Earth's Hill sphere (roughly 0.01 AU [1.5 million km; 0.93 million mi]) at a low relative velocity (in the range 0.002 km/s (4.5 mph) – 0.439 km/s [980 mph]) and became temporarily ...
Scientists from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid have tracked the asteroid's orbit for 21 days and determined its future path. 2024 PT5 is from the Arjuna asteroid belt, which orbits the sun ...
Earth is bidding farewell to a tiny asteroid that joined its orbit for nearly two months. The asteroid, known as 2024 PT5, is set to be drawn away from Earth by the powerful pull of the sun on Monday.
What is 2024 PT5, which will orbit Earth like a second moon? The asteroid 2024 PT5 was discovered by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on Aug. 7, per USA TODAY.
2024 BX 1 is the eighth asteroid discovered before impacting Earth, and is Sárneczky's third discovery of an impacting asteroid. Before it impacted, 2024 BX 1 was a near-Earth asteroid on an Earth-crossing Apollo-type orbit. The bolide was studied in June 2024. It had a steep entry of 75.6° and an entry speed of 15.20 km/s.
The yellow dots show the position uncertainty of asteroid 2024 YR4 when it encounters Earth in 2032, based on observations up to January 31, 2025. ... dot at the center of the Moon's orbit ...
