A newly discovered asteroid designated 2019 OD will flyby Earth at a distance of 0.93 LD / 0.00239 AU (357 538 km / 222 164 miles) on July 24, 2019. This is the 31st known asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance since the start of the year and the largest.
2019 DO is an Apollo-class asteroid first observed at ATLAS-HKO, Haleakala, Hawaii on July 21, three days before close approach.
Its estimated diameter is between 52 and 102 m (170 - 334 feet), making it the largest <1LD asteroid of the year so far.
The object will fly past us at a speed (relative to the Earth) of 19.17 km/s at 13:31 UTC
