C/2024 L5 (ATLAS) is a comet that was discovered on 14 June 2024 as A117uUD by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), South Africa, Sutherland.It will reach perihelion on 10 March 2025 at 3.432 AU (513.4 million km) from the Sun. [4] [5]
The apsides refer to the farthest (2) and nearest (3) points reached by an orbiting planetary body (2 and 3) with respect to a primary, or host, body (1). An apsis (from Ancient Greek ἁψίς (hapsís) ' arch, vault '; pl. apsides / ˈ æ p s ɪ ˌ d iː z / AP-sih-deez) [1] [2] is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.
2024 YR 4 is an asteroid with an estimated diameter of 40 to 90 metres (130 to 300 ft) that is classified as an Apollo-type (Earth-crossing) near-Earth object.From 27 January to 20 February 2025, it had an impact rating of 3 on the Torino scale, with a maximum estimated probability of 3.1% that it would impact Earth on 22 December 2032.
According to Nasa's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, Asteroid 2024 YR4 has fallen off the Torino scale after recent observations. The impact probability dropped to 0.0017% or 1-in-59,000 odds ...

Asteroid (35396) 1997 XF 11 will pass 930,000 km (0.0062 AU) from the Earth. 2029 NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will exit the Kuiper Belt. [4] 2029 April 13 Near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis will pass Earth at a relatively small distance of 31,200 km (19,400 mi) above Earth's surface, closer than some geosynchronous satellites.

That moment, called aphelion, will occur when the distance between the two celestial bodies stretches to more than 94.5 million miles. At perihelion, Earth is roughly 91.4 million miles away from ...
[14] [15] Its spectrum is similar to that of Earth's quasi-satellite 469219 Kamoʻoalewa 2016 HO 3 [15] [10] and Earth's minimoon 2022 NX 1. [10] In January 2025, scientists determined that 2024 PT5 is composed of ejecta from an impact on the Moon and also determined 2024 PT5's orbital path was dominantly heliocentric and so should not be ...
