The asteroid had a close approach to the Earth on 29 May 2012, approaching to only ~8950 miles (~14,440 km) above the planet's surface. This means 2012 KT 42 came inside the Clarke Belt of geosynchronous satellites. In May 2012, the estimated 5- to 10-metre-wide asteroid ranked #6 on the top 20 list of closest-approaches to Earth.

2012 EG5 is an Apollo near-Earth asteroid with an estimated diameter of 47 meters (154 ft). [3] The asteroid was discovered on March 13, 2012. The asteroid came within 0.001539 AU (230,200 km ; 143,100 mi ) of Earth during its closest approach on April 1, 2012, [ 2 ] just over half the distance between Earth and the Moon's orbit.

Imagery collected by Voyager 2 of Ganymede during its flyby of the Jovian system Galileo spacecraft encounters asteroid 243 Ida. A flyby (/ ˈ f l aɪ b aɪ /) is a spaceflight operation in which a spacecraft passes in proximity to another body, usually a target of its space exploration mission and/or a source of a gravity assist (also called swing-by) to impel it towards another target.
