The small near-Earth asteroids 2008 TC 3, 2014 AA, 2018 LA, 2019 MO, 2022 EB 5, 2022 WJ 1, 2023 CX 1 and 2024 BX 1 are the only eight asteroids discovered before impacting into Earth (see asteroid impact prediction ). Scientists estimate that several dozen asteroids in the 6–12 m (20–39 ft) size range fly by Earth at a distance closer than ...
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 space rock the size of a cruise liner will closely pass Earth in April 2029. While the asteroid Apophis won’t hit Earth, two spacecraft may tag along.
An asteroid will whiz harmlessly past Earth this weekend. Called 2024 MK, the space rock will make its closest approach to Earth Saturday morning, passing by at about three-quarters the distance ...
99942 Apophis ( provisional designation 2004 MN4) is a near-Earth asteroid and a potentially hazardous object with a diameter of 370 metres (1,210 feet) [ 3] that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 when initial observations indicated a probability up to 2.7% that it would hit Earth on April 13, 2029.
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of January 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors . Asteroid.
