Additional precovery observations of the asteroid from 1990 were quickly found that refined the orbit and it is now known the asteroid will pass Earth on 26 October 2028, at a distance of 929,000 km (2.42 LD). [3] [14] [15] During the close approach, the asteroid should peak at about apparent magnitude 8.2, [16] and will be visible in ...

19367 Pink Floyd (provisional designation 1997 XW 3) is a dark background asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 3 December 1997, by European astronomers of the ODAS survey at the CERGA Observatory near Caussols, France. [ 5 ]
Common orbital subgroups of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The Amor asteroids are a group of near-Earth asteroids named after the archetype object 1221 Amor / ˈ eɪ m ɔːr /.The orbital perihelion of these objects is close to, but greater than, the orbital aphelion of Earth (i.e., the objects do not cross Earth's orbit), [1] with most Amors crossing the orbit of Mars.
The OCA–DLR Asteroid Survey (ODAS) was an astronomical survey to search for small Solar System bodies focusing on near-Earth objects in the late 1990s. This European scientific project was a collaboration between the French Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (OCA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
