2024 ON is a near-Earth object with a length around 350 meters [2] that flew past Earth on 17 September 2024. [3] It was discovered by ATLAS - MLO , Mauna Kea on 27 July 2024. [ 2 ] Radar observations showed that 2024 ON is a contact binary .
For more massive bodies than Earth, there is a potentially notable close approach with a larger MOID; for instance, Jupiter MOIDs less than 1 AU are considered noteworthy since Jupiter is the most massive planet. [1] A low MOID does not mean that a collision is inevitable as the planets frequently perturb the orbit of small bodies.
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 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 ...
C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) (previously had the temporary designation A11bP7I) was a sungrazing comet that was discovered by ATLAS-HKO in Hawaii on 27 September 2024. The comet passed its perihelion on 28 October 2024, at a distance of about 0.008 AU (1.2 million km; 0.74 million mi) from the barycenter of the Solar System, [ 1 ] and disintegrated.
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 ...
