  1. The dashboard displays the next five Earth approaches to within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million kilometers or 19.5 times the distance to the moon); an object larger than about 150 meters that can approach the Earth to within this distance is termed a potentially hazardous object.

  2. Scientists estimate that several dozen asteroids in the 612 m (20–39 ft) size range fly by Earth at a distance closer than the moon every year, but only a fraction of these are actually detected.

  3. Jul 3, 2024 · NASA/JPL-Caltech. The Deep Space Network’s Goldstone planetary radar had a busy few days observing asteroids 2024 MK and 2011 UL21 as they safely passed Earth. Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California recently tracked two asteroids as they flew by our planet.

  4. The majority of near-Earth objects have orbits that don’t bring them very close to Earth, and therefore pose no risk of impact, but a small fraction of them – called potentially hazardous asteroids – require more attention.

  5. Explore the 3D world of Asteroids, Comets and NEOs. Learn about past and future missions, tracking and predicting orbits, and close approaches to Earth.

  6. Jun 28, 2024 · July 2024. Each month, NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office releases a monthly update featuring the most recent figures on NASA’s planetary defense efforts, near-Earth object close approaches, and other timely facts about comets and asteroids that could pose an impact hazard with Earth.

  7. Mar 10, 2023 · For now, that pass near the Earth will be no closer than 7.5 million km (4.65 million mi.), according to NASA’s Eyes on Asteroids website. That’s 18 times farther than the moon is from...

  8. See thousands of asteroids and comets in real-time, see the next five close approaches to Earth, and explore past, present and future missions to asteroids and comets.

  9. 4 days ago · A massive asteroid is projected to pass Earth today at a very close distance, check out speed, size, distance, and more. NASA has tracked an asteroid which is currently hurtling towards Earth for a near miss today, July 9 2024. These asteroids are mostly found between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. However, today its trajectory will make the ...
