The October 2012 observations reduced the orbit uncertainties by more than a factor of 60, meaning that the Earth's position in February 2040 no longer falls within the range of possible future paths for the asteroid. [8] On 4 February 2040 the asteroid will pass no closer than 0.007 AU (1,000,000 km; 650,000 mi) (~2.8 LD) from Earth. [1]

Trajectory of asteroid 2005 YU 55 compared with the orbits of Earth and the Moon on 8–9 November 2011. Apparent trajectory on 8–9 November 2011. In February 2010, (308635) 2005 YU 55 was rated 1 on the Torino Scale for a potential pass near Earth on 10 November 2103, [12] that posed no unusual level of danger.
2009 FW 4 (~41 meters in diameter) passed 2.82 Lunar distances (1.1 million km) from Earth on 17 March 2009. 2009 DO 111 (~95 meters in diameter) passed 1.22 Lunar distances (468,000 km) from Earth on 20 March 2009. (410777) 2009 FD (472 meters in diameter) passed 1.62 Lunar distances (624,000 km) from Earth on 27 March 2009.
2011 MD was observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2014 and estimated to be 6 meters (20 ft) in diameter. [4] The asteroid is a porous rubble pile with a density similar to water. [4] On 19 June 2014, NASA reported that asteroid 2011 MD was a prime candidate for capture by the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) in the early 2020s. [10]
(458732) 2011 MD 5 is an Apollo near-Earth asteroid around 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles) in diameter. It is the largest asteroid known to have passed closer than the Moon. [4] On 17 September 1918 the asteroid passed 0.00234 AU (350 thousand km; 0.91 LD) from Earth [3] with a peak apparent magnitude of around 8.4. The 1918 close approach distance ...
