Overview
- CNEOS data place the closest approach at roughly 218,000 kilometers from Earth, about 0.57 times the Earth–Moon distance.
- Size estimates cluster in the 17–38 meter range, contradicting an outlier report that misstated the object as tens of kilometers wide.
- The asteroid’s relative speed is reported at approximately 45,000–46,000 kilometers per hour.
- NASA indicates the pass poses no hazard to Earth or the Moon for this encounter.
- The Virtual Telescope Project is hosting a live YouTube view from telescopes in Manciano, Italy during the flyby.
