Asteroid 2026 JH2 is expected to pass Earth at a distance of 0.237 LD (0.00061 AU / 91 300 km / 56 700 miles) from the center of our planet at 21:23 UTC on May 18, 2026. Its closest point will be about 84 900 km (52 700 miles) above Earth’s surface.
Asteroid 2026 JM2 passed Earth at a distance of 0.114 LD (0.00029 AU / 43 800 km / 27 200 miles), from the center of our planet at 13:06 UTC on May 7, 2026, becoming the 4th closest known asteroid flyby within 1 lunar distance recorded so far this year. At its closest, the object was about 37 400 km (23 200 miles) above Earth’s surface, about 1 600 km (1 000 miles) outside the altitude used by geostationary satellites.
Asteroid 2026 HZ4 passed Earth at a distance of 0.077 LD (0.00020 AU / 29 709 km / 18 460 miles) from the center of our planet at 12:13 UTC on April 24, 2026, becoming the second-closest known asteroid flyby within 1 lunar distance recorded so far this year. Its closest point was about 23 338 km (14 501 miles) above Earth’s surface, placing it inside the orbit of geostationary satellites.
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2025 WE14 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.073 lunar distances at 18:44 UTC on November 29, 2025. The object was first detected by the Mt. Lemmon Survey on November 30 during a very short one-day observation arc.
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2025 WV13 made a very close approach to Earth on November 27, 2025, passing at just 0.065 lunar distances.
A large asteroid designated 2008 DG5 will fly past Earth at a distance of 9.1 LD (0.023 AU; 3.4 million km / 2.1 million miles) at 23:57 UTC on June 5, 2025. This will be the closest approach of this asteroid between 1956 and 2125.
A newly discovered asteroid, 2025 FA22, has climbed into the top five positions of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) risk list due to its low but measurable chance of striking Earth in 2089. During the first four months of 2025, more than 1 000 new NEOs have been discovered, in line with the recent average of about 3 000 per year.
A newly discovered near-Earth asteroid designated 2024 YR4 has been identified with a more than 1% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. Astronomers are actively refining its orbit and the potential risk remains under evaluation.
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2024 TH11 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.08 LD / 0.00019 AU (29 838 km / 18 540 miles) from the center of our planet at 09:18 UTC on Thursday, October 10, 2024.
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2024 SV2 will fly past Earth at a distance of just 0.128 LD or 0.00033 AU (49 287 km / 30 626 miles) from the center of our planet at 17:02 UTC on September 28, 2024.
