Jupiter MOID: 1.680 AU: Physical characteristics [1] ... 2024 ON is a near-Earth object with a length around 350 meters [2] that flew past Earth on 17 September 2024. [3]
The first two objects that were detected and had their Earth-MOID calculated before Earth impact were the small asteroids 2008 TC 3 and 2014 AA. 2014 AA is listed with a MOID of 0.00000045 AU (67 km; 42 mi), [5] and is the second smallest MOID calculated for an Apollo asteroid after 2020 QY 2 with an Earth-MOID of 0.00000039 AU (58 km; 36 mi).
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 ...
Weather permitting, Jupiter will not only be brighter than most other stars and planets in the evening sky, but will also be visible all night long. ... December 7, 2024 at 4:00 AM.
2024 MK is a near-Earth object with a diameter around 150 meters that flew past Earth on June 29, 2024. [1] It was discovered by ATLAS South Africa, Sutherland on 16 June 2024. [2] This asteroid travels in both the main-belt and in the near-Earth region. It passed Earth on 29 June 2024 at a distance of 184,000 miles (295,000 kilometers).
The nominal orbit of 252P/LINEAR [2001] (K102/1) was thrown into the near-Earth region by Jupiter in 1800s, and probably this is the first time the comet is so close to the Sun. [11] Since its Jupiter MOID is currently 0.2 AU, [4] Jupiter remains the primary factor in its orbital disruption. The comet will approach Jupiter at 0.76 AU on 22 ...
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 ]
2023 FW 14 is a small asteroid orbiting near the L 4 point of Mars (60 degrees ahead of Mars on its orbit). As of March 2024, it is the second known asteroid to orbit the leading L 4 point of Mars together with (121514) 1999 UJ 7, although at least 15 other asteroids orbit Mars's trailing L 5 point, including 5261 Eureka, (101429) 1998 VF 31, and 2007 NS 2.
