2024 ON is a near-Earth object with a length around 350 meters [2] that flew past Earth on 17 September 2024 at a distance of 620,000 miles (1,000,000 km). [3] It was discovered by ATLAS-MLO, Mauna Kea on 27 July 2024. [2] Radar observations showed that 2024 ON is a contact binary.
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 will become ...
