Compute the position of Asteroid (NEO) 2007 EG for any date and time between 1 January 2013
and 30 December 2100
and visualize the results on an interactive sky map.
Please note: this information pertains to a Near-Earth Object (NEO). During close approaches,
our current computational model is not able to provide an accurate position,
due to the high speeds of these objects. We plan to refine our algorithms to improve accuracy in the future.
JPL Horizons can compute precise positions in these situations.
Asteroid (NEO) 2007 EG is in the constellation of
Capricornus,
at a distance of 218,166,306.0 kilometers from Earth.
The current Right Ascension is
21h 30m 21s
and the Declination is -14° 01’ 08”
(apparent coordinates).
The magnitude of Asteroid (NEO) 2007 EG is 24.70 (data provided by JPL Horizons).

Light Curve
The following chart is the predicted light curve
(visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid (NEO) 2007 EG,
according to the most recent ephemerides data.
Magnitude data is sampled with a 2 days interval and there might be inaccuracies
for objects changing brightness very rapidly during the course of a few days. For comets there could be large discrepancies
between the observed and predicted brightness because of their highly dynamic behaviour.
