The lists below are based on the close approach database of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), in its state as of 27 February 2025. [2] The database lists any approaches with a minimum distance less than 0.2 astronomical units (AU) from 1900 and until a century into the future which have been derived by orbit calculations.
