NASA's Asteroid Watch Dashboard tracks "asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth." According to a data table, 2024 ON was traveling at around 8.8 kilometers per ...
"The dashboard displays the next five Earth approaches to within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million kilometers or 19.5 times the distance to the moon)," per NASA’s Asteroid Watch Dashboard.
List of asteroid close approaches to Earth in 2024. Asteroid close approaches to Earth in 2024 include: 2009 JV1 close approach, 0.0571 AU (19.21 LD) on January 5, 2024. 2021 BL3 close approach, 0.0441 AU (17.16 LD) on January 23, 2024 [1] 2017 BG92 close approach, 0.0301 AU (11.71 LD) on January 25, 2024.
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 will pass 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 ...
Nasa has issued an alert for a stadium-sized asteroid set to make a close approach to Earth on Tuesday.. The 2024 ON asteroid measures 290 metres (950 feet) across and will come within 1 million ...
The small near-Earth asteroids 2008 TC 3, 2014 AA, 2018 LA, 2019 MO, 2022 EB 5, 2022 WJ 1, 2023 CX 1, 2024 BX 1, and 2024 RW 1 are the only nine 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 ...
The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) is a robotic astronomical survey and early warning system optimized for detecting smaller near-Earth objects a few weeks to days before they impact Earth. Funded by NASA, and developed and operated by the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, the system currently has four 0.5 ...
Watch live as a Nasa spacecraft returns to Earth with the largest asteroid sample in history on Sunday 24 September. After a seven-year, four-billion-mile journey across space, the ambitious NASA ...
