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]
